Upper Arlington Lutheran Church (UALC) is an American multi-site Lutheran megachurch located in the northwestern Columbus suburbs of Upper Arlington and Hilliard, Ohio. It was founded in 1956 as a Lutheran mission by the former American Lutheran Church (now the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America). The church has over 5,700 members, and eight weekend services averaging 1,500 attendees, making it one of the largest Lutheran churches in the United States. As well as its two suburban locations, UALC is also active in an interdenominational church plant in Columbus' Hilltop neighborhood. UALC's Mill Run Campus (Hilliard) serves as the international headquarters for the North American Lutheran Church.
