MISSION STATEMENT

 God’s mission for

Christ Lutheran Church & School

is to

Celebrate, Learn, Contribute, and Serve!

 

The following are the values we will stand for, without compromise, regardless of the challenges placed before us. They are our guiding principles for all decisions, actions

·         Christian Education (Proverbs 9:9-10) We believe that God works with both the heads and hearts of His people to develop living faith.

 

·         Outreach (2 Timothy 1:11) We believe that the Church was created to express God’s love, reach the unchurched, and serve the community.

 

·         Tradition (Ephesians 2:19-20) Since “we are because of others”, we believe that the Church must build upon our faith’s foundation to convey the faith to future generations.

 

·         Financial Prudence (Luke 14:28, Matthew 6:19-21 We believe our lives, our gifts, and our possessions are to be used, with sound judgment and prayerful consideration, as selfless testimony to God’s love and promise.

 

·         Discipleship For All Ages (Philippians 4:8-9) We believe that the Church’s primary responsibility is developing and nurturing lives fully founded and focused on Jesus Christ.

History

Christ Lutheran Church was organized in July of 1925 and has served the San Pedro / Rancho Palos Verdes area for the past seventy-five years.  In February of 1932 the congregation laid the cornerstone for the church building at 16th and Cabrillo Streets in San Pedro. Christ Lutheran purchased the present location on Western Avenue in 1954 and opened a two room school the following year. Construction started in 1959 for the new sanctuary and gymnasium/fellowship hall which were dedicated in 1960.  Since then the church and school have grown to their present size and configuration.
