The Red River Valley Conference of the Augustana Lutheran Church then became the Red River Valley Synod of the Lutheran Church in America including districts in northwestern Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The Lutheran Church in America existed until 1987 when the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) was created.
