The word Synod is from the Greek "journey together" with the connotation of a convocation. A coming together for a common purpose. In the Lutheran Church it is commonly used to denote a particular denomination within the churches that adhere to the Christian doctrine developed during the Reformation springing from the reforms that Martin Luther attempted, unsuccessfully to have implemented in the Roman Catholic Church. The Lutheran Church is, generally speaking a congregational church, that is to say that the fundamental authority lies with the individual congregation and not with the synodical hierarchy. Disputes over the role of the hierarchy and doctrinal issues have lead to the development of numerous bodies taking upon themselves the mantle of Luther.

This Christian denomination is a direct result of the Protestant Reformation begun in 1517 by Martin Luther in Wittenberg, Germany. Lutheran Church-Canada was founded in 1988 when the Canadian congregations of the St. Louis based Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod formed an autonomous Canadian church comprising 325 congregations organized in three districts. The Synodical office is in Winnipeg, Manitoba, while the offices of the Alberta-British Columbia District are in Edmonton, Alberta; the Central District in Regina, Saskatchewan; and East District in Kitchener, Ontario. The denomination retains close ties with the LC-MS. The two church bodies are in fellowship and work cooperatively in missions and and other synodical endeavours with other Lutheran church bodies around the world that follow the Biblically-based Lutheran Confessions.
