Established in 1868, our church has grown and evolved to meet the needs of our congregation and community. As a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), we are committed to sharing Christ’s love and serving others.
Our rich history is marked by a dedication to worship, education, and outreach. From our humble beginnings to our present-day ministries, we have always strived to be a beacon of hope and compassion. We invite you to join us in our mission and become a part of our church family.
Celebrating God’s Love
At First Lutheran Church, we believe that worship is a celebration of God’s love. Our services are designed to uplift and inspire, with a mix of traditional and contemporary music, meaningful sermons, and a welcoming atmosphere. Communion is celebrated every week, and all are welcome to partake.

Faith formation is a lifelong journey, and we are here to support you every step of the way. From Sunday School for children to Bible studies and small groups for adults, we offer a variety of opportunities to deepen your understanding of God’s word and grow in your faith.
Reaching Out in Compassion
Our commitment to serving others is at the heart of our mission. Through local and global outreach initiatives, we strive to make a positive impact in the lives of those in need.
