History
The Northwest Mission is Established
In the summer of 1989 four Lutheran couples in rapidly expanding northwest Las Vegas began to explore the possibility of founding a Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod mission in their community. In January 1990, after many contacts with the Pacific Southwest District, Associate Pastor Ed Zimbrick of First Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Las Vegas, was appointed to begin a new mission church in northwest Las Vegas.
The first worship service for the NW Lutheran Mission Church was held on March 11, 1990, in the Campus Chapel of Good Shepherd of St. Jude's Ranch just north of North Jones and Highway 215. Thirteen members and eight guests attended that day. By December 1990, attendance had increased to an average of 116. It was then that the fledgling church purchased a ten acre site on the corner of North Jones and Highway 215 with funding from LCEF.
In January of 1991 the members adopted the name Lamb of God Lutheran Church, and received approval to call their own pastor.
A newspaper article in December 1994, said this about Lamb of God Lutheran Church: "Members say the story of Lamb of God is more than just growing numbers. Of greater importance is the growing of people. And, it's about community".
By 1994 the congregation totaled 208 baptized members, and in 1995, the church building was dedicated.
Later that year, the ministry of Lamb of God opened a preschool in the Church building, with a Kindergarten and 1st grade being added in 2001. Finally, in 2004 with the generosity of the Church members, it began construction on the new elementary building and administration offices. The school now has over 400 students, PreK – 5th grade.
In its first mission statement, the church said, "The Mission of Lamb of God Lutheran Church is to answer God's call for a church that will be warm and caring, and preach the Gospel as truth in a contemporary way."
The interim committee revised the statement in September 2011: "We are a loving, Christ-centered family reaching out to people and caring for each other."
Today, Lamb of God Lutheran is a growing congregation of 500+ members reaching out to the community in various ways. Praise God for all He has done in this place!
