About Christ Lutheran Church

Christ Lutheran Church came into being in 1862 when a number of members withdrew from the first German congregation in Hazleton. Feeling the need to identify themselves as distinctly Lutheran, they separated from what was then a "union" church and broke ground in September for a new church building on the site of our present edifice at the intersection of Church Street and Green Street. The cornerstone was laid on September 25, 1862 by the Rev. R.S. Wagner, the first regular pastor of the congregation. The building was dedicated to the glory of God on the day of Pentecost 1863.

The congregation grew steadily and soon plans were drawn for a new church building. The cornerstone for the new structure was laid on November 21, 1886, and it was dedicated on November 27, 1887.
