About Us
Who We Are
2021 is the 170th anniversary of First Lutheran's founding. In the 1850s, we served as the gathering place for German Lutherans new to Houston. We remain a gathering place for followers of Jesus who desire to worship, learn, and serve together. Like our denomination, First Lutheran is committed to the Great Commission of making disciples of Jesus Christ. We recently simplified our name. Why? Check out this essay.
What We Do
To fulfill our mission, we focus on four ministries: Sunday worship and teaching; our preschool, First Friends; Internet and college student outreach; and Music at First. We also host a number of social events and help incredible organizations fulfill their missions. Each of these ministries reflects our commitment to preserving important traditions, grow in community, and reach out to non-believers with the Gospel of Christ.
Our Spoken Word Service
In addition to our liturgical 11:00 service, we offer a spoken word service. The service is designed knowing that not everyone is musical or enjoys singing. This service has all of the main components of any proper worship service: Bible lessons, a sermon, Holy Communion, prayers, etc. As this service is a bit less formal and the worship service lasts about 45 minutes, parents may prefer it.
