Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC) completed its restructuring process on January 1, 2019. This followed calls from all three districts meeting in convention in 2015. In accordance with votes taken during these conventions, LCC’s Commission on Constitutional Matters and Structure and Board of Directors proposed a new structure that was accepted by the 2017 Synod Convention.
