Center United States Missions, 1530 Concordia, Irvine, CA 92612, US

Pacific Southwest District is one of 35 Districts of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. We believe in the Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is the creator of the universe who loved the world so much that he sent his one and only Son, Jesus Christ to die on a cross for the sins of all people. His resurrection on Easter morning declared God's victory for all who believe. Through the power of the Holy Spirit the Christian Church was born at Pentecost ( Acts 2 ) and through the power of that same Spirit we come to faith in this One God. We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God and in the Lutheran Confessions as an accurate explanation of the Scriptures. With the office in in Irvine CA, the geographical area of Pacific Southwest District includes Arizona, Southern California and Clark County Nevada. There are 320-plus ministries, of which 81 are culture-specific ( African-American, Arabic, Asian Indian, Brazilian, Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino, Hispanic, Indonesian, International, Jewish, Korean, Muslim, Native American, Vietnamese ). Approximately 70 of those ministries worship in a language other than English. Click here to see a map of the 4 regions of the District.
