Background

Scope and Content:

The records of the Michigan Synod of the Lutheran Church in America include president's correspondence; executive committee minutes; and minutes of annual conventions; files on individual churches in the Synod, including clippings, reports, church histories and programs; and photographs. The records have been arranged into the following series: Organizational and Administrative Records; Archivist's files; Organizational units and programs; Lutheran Church Women; Printed material; Church files; Topical files; and Visual Materials. Most of the records prior to 1962 originally came from the archives of United Lutheran Church in America.

Biographical / Historical:

The Lutheran Church in America was formed from the merger in 1962 of four Lutheran groups: the United Lutheran Church in America, the Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church, the American Evangelical Lutheran Church, and the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church. In 1988, the LCA merged with the American Lutheran Church and the much smaller Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

The first annual convention of the Michigan Synod was held in Detroit in June 1920.

Acquisition Information:

The record group was deposited by the Michigan Synod, Lutheran Church in America (Donor No. 5738 ) in August 1975. Periodic additions have been received since then.

Accruals:
