Your security and experience on ELCA.org are important to us. Users will be able to access all three of our systems with a single login. You may also log in with supported social media and email provider accounts. This change will help you manage your accounts and information more easily.
The systems on ELCA.org described below require logins to access information. With this change, a single login will provide access to all three systems. Additional ELCA systems will support this single login in the future.
- ELCA Community is where individuals, leaders and synod staff apply as candidates for ministry, manage mobility information and profiles, and register for events.
- ELCA Directory serves as a directory of congregations, rostered ministers, and entities of this church, and provides other information as well as statistical material.
- ELCA Alumni Directory is a networking space where you can find and connect with alumni around the world, from your program and other ELCA program.
If you’re already using an email account to log into an ELCA system, you can continue using that account. If you need to reset your password, click “Don’t remember your password?” to have a reset-password link sent to you.
If you’re a new or existing ELCA user, chances are that your preferred email address is already associated with one of our login-identity providers: Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft or Yahoo. You may log in using one of these providers.
You need not use one of these providers to log in. To create a new ELCA login account, you can also use an email address as your username and a password of your choosing. Please use a personal address (e.g. johnsmith@gmail.com), not a public or shared one (e.g. info@stlukelutheran.com, pastor@stlukelutheran.com).
If you have trouble accessing any of these systems, please contact Constituent.Care@elca.org.
