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.

Calendar - Education

Christian Education isn't only for children. God's family of all ages can benefit from regular instruction in the Word of God. Come and join with others in this journey of faith through the Bible. New participants are always welcome at any of our education programs and you need not be a member of our congregation.

CHILDREN'S EDUCATION

During the school year (September-June) children are dismissed just prior to the sermon for Children's Church with an age-appropriate Bible lesson while their parents listen to Pastor's message. The children return to their families in time for communion. We also have Busy Bags with quiet toys for the young children as well as a Parents' Room with one way glass if parents need a quiet place to take their little ones. During the summer months, children worship in church with their families, but we have an extended Children's Message along with crafts and story pages for the children to enjoy during the sermon time.

Jesus' Little Lambs

Families are important and we want to support all those faithful parents who are raising their children for the Lord during difficult times.

Our children's education program includes Sunday School during the school year. Children join us for the early part of the worship service and are then dismissed following the Children's Message.
