Our History

In 1923, when the population of Chilliwack numbered about 3,000, Rev. V.L. Meyer began work here. Traveling from Vancouver, he brought the Word of God to a little group of Lutherans ... just four people to start. By the end of the year, the number had grown to 20 people and services were conducted in the member's homes. In 1930, Candidate A.H. Haake took over the work in the valley. In addition to Chilliwack, Rev. Haake served Lulu Island, New Westminister, Crescent, Cloverdale, South Sumas, Bradner and Hope. Living in New Westminster, he became the founder of Mt. Calvary Church in that city.

What we Believe

Our teachings can be summed up in the words of the Apostle's Creed

I BELIEVE IN GOD, THE FATHER ALMIGHTY , maker of heaven and earth.

AND IN JESUS CHRIST , His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.

I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT , the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. AMEN.

Dead but now alive? No way!

Those who believe in and follow the man named Jesus of Nazareth have, since the beginning of April, been celebrating the pinnacle of his 33 years of life. That pinnacle was his death upon a Roman cross and three days later, just as he said he would, he rose from the dead.

Most in the world say "dream on" and it might very well look as such if it were only his followers and eye witnesses who claimed these events. But such is not the case and nor has it been for the past 2000 yrs.

Along with those who loved him were those who hated him and hatched a plan to hand him over to the Roman governor to be crucified. We learn what happened to him not only from his eye witness followers who wrote these accounts for all in the Bible, but also from his enemies who wrote of his death and also of the fact that he was seen alive by many after his coming back to life. And it gets even more interesting because Roman historians also wrote of the man named Jesus of Nazareth having been ...
