We have seven congregations and five pastors in Great Britain. The work of our congregations covers a wide area, mainly in England, but with some services in Wales and Guernsey. Our members are Latvians and their families. Because of this, our services are predominantly in Latvian, but the pastors, church workers and members of the congregations, many of them British born, also speak English and welcome non-Latvian speaking visitors and family members.
The Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church in Great Britain is part of the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church Abroad, which has congregations all over the world and is a member of the Lutheran World Federation. The largest congregations are in the USA and Canada, but there are also congregations in Australia and in Europe. Our archbishop, Elmārs E. Rozītis, lives in Germany.
