The First English Lutheran Church was founded in 1879 in Syracuse, New York. Its current building was designed by Archimedes Russell and constructed in 1911. The architecture is specifically noted for being mission-inspired, a style that contributed to the building being added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
The church maintains a history of Lutheran roots and heritage while respecting the needs of a changing world. Its mission statement describes the space as a safe, spiritual haven for sharing the truth and love of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The congregation welcomes all people regardless of race, creed, color or sexual orientation for worship and community services.
Located at 501 James Street, the church recognizes the gift of music as a God-given talent. The community aims to fulfill God's mission by reaching out to serve neighbors and friends, sharing many blessings while maintaining the craftsmanship of the 1911 structure.
