Christ Lutheran was established in Lakewood in 1958.  God has placed us in a unique setting.  We are in the midst of a diverse community that lives in one of the most unchurched areas of our country.  Our basic call is to communicate the good news of Jesus Christ, both in our words and actions, so that all people would become followers of Christ.  One of our principal neighbors is Joint Base Lewis-McChord.  We thank God for the ministry of military chaplains but believe that we also have a particular calling to connect with this military community.
