Our History

Reformation Lutheran Church was organized in 1961. There were 75 charter members. They met at the American Legion until they were able to break ground two years later. Soon the church was flourishing with many young families.

In the 1980's and 1990's, the church fell onto hard times. Members moved away, the church struggled in reaching out to the community, and eventually spent seven years without a pastor. However, through it all the members of Reformation Lutheran Church continued to gather around God’s Word.

In 2001, the church saw a new day as they called a young pastor out of seminary. With his arrival the congregation directed its focus back towards the neighborhood. Soon, families began returning to the church (read an article about Reformation's turnaround).

In 2009 we completed building a new sanctuary, and expanding our ministries.  Through it all, we continue to gather around God's Word.

In 2013, the church was blessed in calling a young pastor from Iowa, as senior pastor.  He and his family arrived in the spring.  We look forward to the ministry God has in store for Reformation.

In 2015, we called upon a seminarian to fill our pulpit.  What began as a temporary filling of a need led to this pastor being called to serve Reformation Evangelical Lutheran Church, Westminster, California.  Pastor Ken was ordained on September 11, 2016 and continues to serve to this day.
