Gloria Dei Lutheran Church (ELS) These faithful members formed an independent Lutheran congregation. Soon a pastor was called. Pastor J.K. Pastor Homer Mosley, Jr.

Smith accepted the Call to become

the congregation’s first regular pastor. succeeded him and served until his retirement in 2020. The congregation is currently served by Pastor Jacob Kempfert. The congregation met in various places, including Michigan Lutheran Seminary, until 1990, when we acquired eight acres of ground and built at the present location. The church is located in Saginaw Township, which comprises the western portion of the greater Saginaw metropolitan area. In 1989 Gloria Dei joined the Evangelical Lutheran Synod, headquartered in Mankato, MN. It is part of a regional district, Circuit #3, which encompasses Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana. The pastors of Circuit #3 meet regularly for study and encouragement, at Holy Scripture Lutheran Church, Midland, MI. Other groups of men and women meet throughout the year in different settings to grow in their service to the Lord and in their appreciation of the Gospel. The blessings of this larger, orthodox fellowship help in facilitating the ministry of the congregation in its outreach, nurture, and confessional practices.
