Church History
In 1945 a call was extended by the Mission Committee of the California District of the American Lutheran Church to Mr. L.A. Kampfe to found a new Lutheran congregation in the community between San Jose and Santa Clara. The first service was conducted August 12, 1945, with 42 persons in attendance. On December 2 of that same year the new mission was organized into a congregation with 19 members. use your browser's Back button to return
History of the ELCA The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America was formed over 20 years ago. This new church was formed from three separate and well-established North American church bodies:
Beginning January 1, 1988, these churches, with shared beliefs and missions, officially formed the ELCA. Two decades later, this energized church is composed of 4.8 million members and nearly 10,500 congregations across the U.S. and Caribbean. Today, the ELCA reflects the rich and diverse heritage of the people it serves.
