This house of worship was erected in 1898 by German immigrants to the Toronto area. This small congregation, founded in 1851, was determined to have their own church and to use German as the language of service to the Glory of God. With God's help, this has been realized for over a century. The current members are greatly indebted to their ancestors who gave this lovely building for worship and for showing the way to be faithful and grateful to the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

I love First Lutheran...it is beautiful. I was baptized in 1933 and confirmed in 1947 by Pastor Gruenwald. I live too far away to attend services...but the memories I have of this pretty church will always be in my heart.
