Istanbul Lutheran Church/Evangelical Lutheran Church of Bulgaria
İstanbul Luteryen Kilisesi (ILK) / Евангелиска Лутеранска Църква в България (ELCB)
History: The church orginally goes back to the year 1709 when the first Lutheran pastor was sent to Constantinople from Sweden. In modern Turkey, the Istanbul Lutheran Church was founded in 2003. Some Finnish Lutherans had been working in
Turkey since the beginning of the 1970s, but during those years it was not possible to have a Lutheran congregation living there.
ILC Membership since 2025.
