Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church

The Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church is the largest religious organization in Finland, representing a significant portion of the population. Founded in the late Middle Ages, it is part of the Lutheran tradition, which emphasizes faith in Jesus Christ and the authority of the Bible. The Church plays a vital role in Finnish culture and society, offering services like baptisms, weddings, and funerals. It promotes community values, education, and social welfare. While it is a state church, it also respects individual beliefs, allowing for both active members and those who identify as cultural Lutherans without regular attendance.
