First English Evangelical Lutheran Church

First English Evangelical Lutheran Church Sharing Christ’s love and serving all with a generous heart. First English continues to be profoundly blessed with academics, musicians, and artistic resources.

Founded in 1901, First English is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and is at the forefront of the global Emerging Church movement in the United States to understand cultural changes in societies and religious communities. This congregation extends a welcome to all people, for in so many ways in this place God's children hear the living word, see God enfleshed, and by hearing,

eating, and drinking are mysteriously incorporated into the life of Christ. Join us every Sunday at 9am!
