The Independent Lutheran Diocese (ILD) is a small Confessional Lutheran group currently headquartered in Klamath Falls, Oregon, United States.
As of 2022, there were 22 pastors serving in the United States along with three international pastors in Canada, Japan and Australia, with three church bodies in altar and pulpit fellowship in India and Myanmar.
The ILD's "Common Liturgy" is nearly identical to the service liturgy found on in The Lutheran Hymnal of 1941 and "Setting 3" of the Lutheran Service Book of 2006.
Despite the implications of the denominational name, the ILD practices an episcopal form of governance for the leadership of the association and the congregationalist form for individual congregations, who can make decisions based on their needs.
Congregations hold legal title to their church buildings and other property.
