We are a diverse and creative Lutheran community, shaped by God’s grace and committed to welcoming all of God’s children. Rooted in worship and guided by the Gospel, we celebrate God’s love through joyful liturgy, compassionate service, and meaningful relationships.

For more than 130 years, First Lutheran Church of Montclair has been a gathering place for people of many cultures and backgrounds. Today, our community reflects that rich diversity — embracing neighbors across race, culture, gender identity, and orientation — and affirming that each person is created in God’s image and beloved.

Together, we strive to live our faith in ways that make a difference: caring for one another, advocating for justice, and building spaces where all can experience belonging and hope. Whether you are new to faith, returning after time away, or seeking a place to call home, you are welcome here.
