Welcome to Christ Lutheran Church

 

            The membership of Christ’s Lutheran Church, in Penn Forest Township, comes together from a great diversity of backgrounds. For many years, we were predominantly a Pennsylvania Dutch congregation, and still today, you can hear an occasional conversation in the dialect.  While we are a part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, our membership provides fertile soil for growth, life and fellowship within our community.

           Christ’s Church officially began worship services in 1883.  However, records show services were held in the local schoolhouse as early as 1870.  For well over 100 years our congregation has served God and His people in this location.  As we enter the new Millennium, we seek to continue that service in new and vibrant ways.

           It is my great pleasure to serve as the pastor of this congregation.  Together, we are watching our community change and grow.  The growth around us provides challenges as well as new opportunities.  United together and working through the Spirit of God, we move forward in ministry.

                                                 Your servant in Christ,

                                                  Rev. John Hassler
