American Lutheran Church
American Lutheran Church (ALC), Lutheran church in North America that in 1988 merged with two other Lutheran churches to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The ALC had resulted from the merger of three Lutheran synods in 1960: the United Evangelical Lutheran Church (Danish), the American Lutheran Church (German), and the Evangelical Lutheran Church (Norwegian).
