Church History
Founded in 1962 through the evangelical work of the American Lutheran Church, Christ Lutheran has always been a congregation with a heart for mission. The following prayer, found on the cover of the very first worship service folder, expresses not only the hopes of our founders, but also our history and our identity.
Our Family
These are our hopes and dreams Help us attain them, O God Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
God made us a family We need one another We love one another We forgive one another
We work together We play together We worship together
Together we grow in God's word Together we grow in Christ Together we love all people Together we serve our God Together we hope for heaven
History of the Lutheran Church To understand our heritage fully, one must trace our roots back through the mid-17th century, when early Lutherans came to America from Europe, settling in the Virgin Islands and the area that is now known as New York. Even before that, Martin Luther sought reform for the church in the 16th century, laying the framework for our beliefs. Read about Lutheran Roots in America on the ELCA website >>
