Brief History

The LCCA-MS began in 1963 as a Mission outreach of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). The LCCA-MS has 130 congregations and 23,000 members spread throughout most of the country. The congregations are served by 24 Malawian pastors and five WELS missionaries. A further three WELS missionaries provide continued help to the LCCA-MS in the areas of theological and administrative training. With the help of WELS, the LCCA-MS maintains a theological school in the capital city of Lilongwe, The Lutheran Bible Institute.
