History

Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church in Victoria, Texas, boasts a rich history rooted in the early days of the community’s growth.

The congregation’s story began in 1908 with a small group of Scandinavian immigrants – primarily Danish and Norwegian – who settled in Victoria seeking opportunity and a place to worship according to their traditions.

These pioneers, recognizing the need for a Lutheran presence, formed a congregation that initially met in various private homes.

A formal organization occurred in 1911, and the first services were held in the courthouse basement.

A dedicated group, led by early pastors, worked tirelessly to establish a stable foundation for the church.

In 1928, the congregation achieved a significant milestone by dedicating their first permanent church building, a modest structure on East Houston Street, reflecting the community’s support and commitment to the growing faith.

Throughout the years, Our Saviour's has remained a steadfast pillar of the Victoria community, adapting to the changing needs of its members and the town itself, always upholding its Lutheran heritage.
