General Secretary - Bernard Kaisom The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea is a Protestant church denomination located in Papua New Guinea that professes the Lutheran branch of the Christian faith.

The Church is incorporated by a 1991 Act of the Parliament of Papua New Guinea and it has a baptized membership of approximately 900,000 members.

During World War II all missionaries left the area, and many mission stations, churches, schools and hospitals were damaged.

The ELCPNG believes that the church is the body of Christ on earth so that people can grow in faith and live as brothers and sisters.

This function of the church is seen in the preaching of the gospel and the administration of the sacraments, bringing people closer to God so that they may inherit eternal life.
