Church Relationships

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 Christ’s Church and will receive from other members gifts and resources designed to enhance our mission together and promote the oneness of Christ’s 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)
