Patter
Looking back over the past one hundred years, we see that much of the first half of our history was focused on getting established. During the first fifty years we built the original church building, obtained parish status, expanded the original building, purchased new property, and built the current church building.

Our mission orientation continued when we established Epiphany Lutheran & Episcopal Church in 1996, and soon after that our mission vicar, the Rev. Jon Perez, started an Episcopal campus ministry at CSUMB. Throughout the years we have also enjoyed relationships with congregations in Africa, India, and now Haiti.
