Mission
Partnerships
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in The Gambia acknowledges a special
relationship with the Lutheran Church of Senegal. This church also recognizes
a special relationship with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Sierra
Leone which gave initial advice on our establishment with the Lutheran
Church of Senegal. Indeed, we owe a great deal of thanks for the special
leadership relationship with the Lutheran Church of Senegal which provides
Episcopal supervision and frequently sends their pastors -- especially
Rev. Musa Marong who has been the official border-crossing pastor in
the Ssenegambia Region.
The ELCTG recognizes the fact that it is only a member of the body of
Christ. There are other members of this body, which have gifts with
roles and responsibilities to play for the fulfillment of Christ mission.
The Church is therefore willing to share its resources with other members
of Christs Church and will receive from other members gifts and
resources designed to enhance our mission together and promote the oneness
of Christs Church.
Ecumenical Relationships
The ELCTG pursues cordial Ecumenical relationship with the Gambian Christian
Council and the Lutheran Communion of West Africa (LUCWA). At the continental
level, our church leadership will seek to be part of the all African
Conference of Churches (AACC)
