First Lutheran came to life in 1870 when about two dozen Swedish Lutherans met on a Sunday afternoon in Kansas City to establish the First Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Congregation. Since then, the congregation has worshiped in four different sanctuaries, had two dozen pastors, assistant pastors and vice pastors and uncountable members and visitors, all from different backgrounds. Our current location in Mission Hills has been our home since 1957. First Lutheran Church is one of the 11, 000 congregations in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ( ELCA ). Our congregation is part of the Central States Synod, which consists of approximately 220 congregations across Kansas and Missouri. We rejoice that our paths have crossed in our journeys of faith. We welcome you to our community of faith and invite you to join with us in whatever way you feel drawn. In all we do, we seek to celebrate and share the love and grace which God showers upon us in Jesus Christ. Please know that in the various ministries and activities described in this document, you would be a most welcomed partner.
