| “…and on this rock I will build my church…” Matthew 16:16 St. Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church held its first worship service on October 15, 1961 in the Carlsbad Women’s Club. Its first pastor was mission developer, E. Charles Anderson, and under his leadership, St. Peter was chartered in 1963 with 56 members. During this time, the building site on Pierce street was purchased. The first building, housing the sanctuary, was completed and dedicated in 1966. On Reformation Sunday, October 31, 2004, members of St. Peter took part in the service for the blessing and dedication of their new Fellowship Hall and Education Wing. St. Peter is celebrating its 45th year in the Rocky Mountain Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. It has been instrumental in the organization of the Carlsbad Community Kitchen and Carlsbad Transitional Housing & Homeless Shelter, inc.. Its members share in the day-to-day operations of these vital ministries in the Carlsbad community. Standing on the solid foundation of our past we pray for God’s guidance as we chart our future. We invite you to join with us as we seek to be effective witnesses for our lord wherever we are led. |
