Welcome to the Ottawa Circuit of Lutheran Church–Canada

(Next Ottawa Circuit Forum & Convocation :
Sat May 11, 2024!)

Serving Jesus Christ, His people and everyone He loves together across 6 provinces and more than 3,000 kms with over 22 regular preaching points from Timmins and Sudbury Ontario, through the Ottawa River Valley, the National Capital Region, and the Upper St Lawrence, to Québec and Atlantic Canada in both official languages… and more!

Here are the places, settings and languages—and more—where God’s people of the Lutheran Confessions and members of Lutheran Church–Canada gather, are served and serve one another and the world across the Ottawa Circuit through the Ministry of the Gospel and of love for Christ’s sake.

Come discover, pray for, and find other ways to support the Christ-centered, Gospel-focused work of the congregations, missions and ministries of LCC’s Eastern Missionary Circuit!
