HMong Evangelical Lutheran Church

The HMong population in the Twin Cities is estimated to be at 60,000 people which makes it the largest HMong population in the United States. The majority of HMong people practice the traditional religion of Animism which is a belief that a spirit or divinity resides within every object controlling its existence and influencing human life and events in the natural world.

In the late 1970s, Lutheran missionaries began working with isolated pockets of HMong people in the Twin Cities and held worship at both the Bethel Lutheran Church in St. Paul and the Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Minneapolis. In June of 1986, the two ministries joined together to form the HMong Evangelical Lutheran Church. The congregation joined the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and began offering regular Sunday services at the Jehovah Lutheran Church in St. Paul's Hamline-Midway district.

The HMong Evangelical Lutheran Church currently serves approximately 250 people and is led by the Rev. L Kou Seying (Thao), the first HMong pastor ordained in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
