History
The AFLC was formed by 40 churches in 1962. The churches that formed the AFLC were members of the Lutheran Free Church who did not wish to join the American Lutheran Church. The body was originally called the Lutheran Free Church-not merged. The ALC filed suit against the group for using the name Lutheran Free Church. By 1964 the name Association of Free Lutheran Congregations was established.
