We welcome everyone to First Evangelical Lutheran Church.
God’s purpose for our church is to share the love of Jesus Christ with our community and the world.
We are a small, but vibrant Christian Church in the Lutheran tradition. We are always looking to enhance our faith life. We are a member of the Eastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Canada. Our normal Sunday worship is a service of Holy Communion.
We welcome all baptized Christians to the Lord’s Table.
Please join us for worship Sunday mornings at 9:30.
688 Elm St. Port Colborne, Ontario L3K4R1
We share our ministry with St. Matthew’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Welland.
SAD NEWS
It is with great sadness that we learn of Pastor Ron Sedo’s death last weekend from complications from heart surgery. Pastor Ron Sedo served First Lutheran, Port Colborne as our interim minister in 2020. We truly appreciated his willingness to assist in our time of need. He was a kind, gentle person whose words of wisdom were deeply appreciated. We remember Pastor Sedo in our prayers.
We also pray for his wife Marilyn and their family as they mourn Pastor Sedo’s death.
Help is needed!
