History
of First Lutheran Church
 Located
in historic Ghent, First Lutheran Church is an intentional Christian
community appreciative of our Lutheran Christian heritage as well
as sensitive to the dynamic neighborhood where God has placed us.
We have been about our mission of making disciples for Jesus Christ
since 1894, when 31 people were granted a charter.
Originally meeting in a rented hall, the congregation moved to
a larger building until the late 1920's when its members, then numbering
about 150, decided to build our present church on Colley Avenue
in Norfolk.
