Who we are
What We Believe
First English Lutheran Church is a Christian community made up of people who believe that humanity is created in the image of God, forgiven by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and strengthened by the Holy Spirit.
We, like many other Christians, believe in baptizing people of all ages, believing that God's grace is proclaimed through the water and Word of this Sacrament.
We believe in encouraging a public affirmation of faith and baptism; as younger Christians grow in their faith and begin to take responsibility for their own relationship with God, we invite them to participate in a Catechism (Confirmation) program during Middle School years.
We believe that one of the ways we encounter God is through the Eucharist, a Sacrament that is also known as the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion, in which God is truly present with us.
We believe in the priesthood of all believers; therefore, we encourage people to participate in all aspects of worship life and faith living.
We believe that people are both saints and sinners; in other words, we are forgiven and redeemed people who live and participate in the brokenness of this world.
We believe that every member of the church is an equal person while recognizing the individuality and uniqueness of each human being.
We believe that God has a plan for this world, for our church, and for each individual that is greater than we can imagine. Still, we strive to understand that plan and to help fulfill it.
We believe that the church is called to support people in need in every way possible.
We believe that God has been merciful enough to live in our shoes and therefore understands our daily tribulations, frustrations, and pains.
We believe that resurrection overcomes the power of sin and death! We live in a pattern of dying to sin and rising to new life each day - and look forward to the fullness of life everlasting!

First English Lutheran Church History
First English Lutheran Church was founded in 1884 by second-generation German settlers who wanted church services conducted in English rather than German. By 1895, they had constructed a beautiful church on the southwest corner of South A 11th Streets. That same year, Dalbey's pictorial history of Richmond was published and described First English as "one of the prettiest churches in the city."
The congregation continued to worship at this site until 1960 when the present church was built at 2727 East Main St., along the historic National Trail. The contemporary design of the church was unique for its time. In September of 2000, the congregation adopted a proposal to expand the existing building. The construction was completed and dedicated in December of 2001. The expansion provides more space for youth activities, outreach ministries, the Adult Day Care center, and music ministries. The covered atrium and large fellowship hall give First English the flexibility to host many church and community related activities.

Teach me
Teach me, O God, to use all the circumstances of my life to-day that they may bring forth in me the fruits of holiness rather than the fruits of sin. Let me use disappointment as material for patience: Let me use success as material for thankfulness: Let me use suspence as material for perseverance: Let me use danger as material for courage: Let me use reproach as material for longsuffering: Let me use praise as material for humility: Let me use pleasures as material for temperance: Let me use pains as material for endurance.
