Something About Company
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia (ELCIN) Western Diocese is a regional diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia, operating across western Namibia including areas such as Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, and the Erongo Region. Established as part of ELCIN’s administrative structure, the Western Diocese oversees congregational activities, theological training, and community development programs within its jurisdiction. The diocese manages churches, schools, and social services while maintaining the Lutheran tradition that has deep historical roots in Namibia dating back to Finnish missionary work in the 19th century. It functions under the broader ELCIN umbrella, which is one of the largest Christian denominations in Namibia, while maintaining distinct regional governance for its western territory.
