Welcome to First Lutheran Church. Here we stand on the foundation of Jesus Christ and His Word. We are a historic congregation with worship, study, and life together that treasure the truth and beauty of Biblical Lutheran theology and the culture of the Reformation Era as well as doctrinally pure expressions of the Christian faith and life from around the globe and throughout history. First Lutheran has been serving and worshiping in the Knoxville community since 1869. Come to First Lutheran Church to receive and serve our God and our neighbors in need.

In Christ's service,

Rev. Paul Bushur, Pastor

     February 13 -- The Smart Servant (Isaiah 52:13-15)
     February 20 -- The Simple Servant (Isaiah 53:1-3)
     February 27 -- The Substitute Servant (Isaiah 53:4-6)

     March 13 -- The Solitary Servant (Isaiah 53:8, 9)

A LENTEN LOOK:  PORTRAITS OF A SERVANT will be a special Bible Class, taught by Pastor Couch, on Wednesdays in Lent from 7:30-8:30 p.m. (after worship at 6:30 p.m.).  This will be an enlightening study of various Greek words for service, which will help us understand what it fully means to be a servant.  Join us each Wednesday in Lent!
