History of our Congregation
[Forward by numerous members over the years]
All stories need a beginning, and this one begins in 1972 when a handful of Lutheran families wanted to establish a Lutheran congregation on the mountain. Pastor D.C. Schroeder from the Missouri Synod office in Portland came up to guide them in becoming a mission church in the community. (read more)

Join the community on the mountain as we say good-bye to John Young. October 7, 2023 from 1pm to 4pm at the Mt. Hood Lion's Club, 24730 E. Woodsey Way Welches.
John will be forever remembered as an outstanding mentor to many in his orbit. Such great humor and storyteller extraordinaire on all things Oregon.
Legend tells of John having an Oregon hunting license, in perpetuity, for all of Washington County. It is a wonder to imagine the various tech businesses encountering John walking their property taking aim to bag a goose or a deer.
John was able to bring a lightness wherever he travelled. Even Devil's Half Acre was brighter and more Heaven-like when John was sitting in his camp chair, smoking his pipe, and reading his next book. When John arrives in Heaven his first stop will be to pick up the dog and then find the guy in charge.
