Christ Lutheran Church began in 1960, when a number of Lutheran Christians purposed to establish a church along the beaches of Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach. Their aim was to build a Christian fellowship that would be able to reach people living in these towns with the love of Christ.

Since her early days, Christ Lutheran Church has been served by faithful pastors of God’s Word. These pastors have helped create a very friendly and loving congregation who are grounded in the faith, devoted to Jesus Christ, and eager to serve their neighbors in love. Of the five pastors who have served our church, the last two served for 17 years and 21 years respectively.

When Pastor Greg came to Christ Lutheran in the summer of 2005, he found a congregation that was generous, welcoming and friendly but who were looking for a new vision and fresh energy to guide them into the future. He began then by visiting the whole congregation in their homes during the first year that he might get to know each member individually. Then in the summer of 2006, he shared with the congregation new Mission and Vision statements that he believed would help guide the church into the future. (click here to see statements)

The aim of Pastor Greg’s vision was that the congregation would take their strongest quality – Christ-centered fellowship – out into the community by creating places where we might share the love of Christ outside the church building. In September of 2006, the Nursing Home Visitation Team, the Fishing Team, and the Ladies Luncheon Ministry were created. In September of 2007, we began the Mom’s Morning Out Ministry and the Scottish Highland Games Festival for Children.

With God’s Word to guide us and the wind of God’s Spirit filling the sails of our prayers, we are going forward with a fresh breeze in service to our Lord and acts of love to our neighbor!
