GELC joined the Lutheran World Federation in 1963.[3] It is also a member of the Council of Churches in Namibia.[4]

Along with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Republic of Namibia, GELC formed the United Church Council of the Lutheran Churches in Namibia in 2007. The aim of this body is ultimately to achieve church union.[5]
