The Concordia Lutheran Conference (CLC) is a small organization of Lutheran churches in the United States which formed in 1956.[1] It was a reorganization of some of the churches of the Orthodox Lutheran Conference (OLC), which had been formed in September 1951, in Okabena, Minnesota,[2] following a break with Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS). It is the remaining successor of the Orthodox Lutheran Conference. The current president is David T. Mensing, pastor of Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church in Oak Forest, Illinois. All members of the board of directors serve one year terms.[3] The CLC has five congregations and is in fellowship with nine mission congregations in Russia and Nigeria.[4]
