This church is the successor to an older and smaller Lutheran Church that was founded in 1925 and dedicated in 1927, with a congregation of just 14 people from a mostly German ethnic background. Although the original church was enlarged in 1941 to accomodate its growing congregation, it proved too small and a new church, also located on the corner of Maywood Avenue and Chickasaw Avenue, was built. The current Eagle Rock Lutheran Church was designed by architect Walter Hagedohm and dedicated on March 11, 1962. It now serves a largely Filipino congregation as well as an adjacent preschool, the Lutheran International School, with which it shares a parking lot.
