ELCA Wittenberg Center

The ELCA Wittenberg Center is one of the four international learning centers of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. It was established in 1999. The ministry of the ELCA Wittenberg Center is to be a resource for groups and individuals, who are making pilgramages to Lutherstadt Wittenberg and the other "Luther Sites" in Germany.

In 2009, in light of significant budget cuts, the Global Mission Unit of the ELCA was forced to call the directors (Rev. Steve and Dr. Jean Godsall Myers) serving at the time back to the United States. This prompted a reduction of staffing and led to the appointment of the Rev. Scott A. Moore as the ELCA Representative for the Luther Decade and Coordinator of ELCA Wittenberg Center Activities in a part-time capacity.

In 2011, the ELCA made the decision to discontinue their presence in the city of Wittenberg, Germany and instead lend their support to the Lutheran Center of the Lutheran World Federation.
