Welcome to the First Evangelical Lutheran Church of Houston, Texas. This historic Church, originally founded in 1851 across from what is now Jones Hall has become an institution in the Midtown area, right across the street from Houston Community College Central Campus. The present church building, erected in 1927, has been honored by architects as a perfect example of Lombard Romanesque style of architecture. On any warm spring afternoon you are liable to spot college students relaxing on the beautiful front lawn, the front steps of the sanctuary, or in the gazebo. On Sunday mornings, we invite you to come visit at our 11: 00 am service. There, you'll hear wonderful music in the Lutheran tradition, meet friendly parish members, and listen to the inspiring and thoughtful sermons from our pastors. Pastor Evan McClanahan was recently called to First Lutheran and he follows the wonderful pastoral ministry of Pastor Edwin D. Peterman, former pastor of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Houston. You won't find fire & brimstone at First Lutheran. You won't find politicking, and you won't find charismatic preaching or aggrandizement. What you will find there is a simple message a message of peace, inclusion and love. Communion is open to all baptized Christians.
