It all began with people
who desired God.
Christ Lutheran Church began its ministry November 10, 1974 as a small Lutheran church in southwest Mustang, Oklahoma. The congregation has been at its current location, just blocks away from the our original meeting place, since May 1988. Our members come from all walks of life, from infants to seniors. As Mustang has grown, so has Christ. In 1999 we celebrated 25 years of ministry and God’s grace.
We have many active groups for all ages. Including Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies, Sunday School groups, Youth Group, and a chapter of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League.
We look forward to celebrating 50 years in 2024!
Our Denomination
Christ Lutheran Church is a member congregation of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS or Missouri Synod for short). The LCMS was organized by German immigrants in 1874 at a meeting in Chicago, as the German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States (German: Die Deutsche Evangelisch-Lutherische Synode von Missouri, Ohio und andern Staaten), a name which reflected the geographic locations of the founding congregations. The nucleus of the immigrants came over to America from Germany in the 1830’s and 1840’s, fleeing religious persecution. In the 1860’s, the LCMS saw rapid expansion in the American South as it was one of the few church bodies that created churches, schools, and even a college for newly freed slaves, defying groups like the KKK. During the first two decades of the 20th Century, the LCMS became a primarily English speaking denomination, switching over from German. Today’s Missouri Synod is multicultural and spread across all 50 U.S. States and two Canadian provinces. It is in altar and pulpit fellowship with Lutheran church bodies around the world.
Our District
The Oklahoma District of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod is a fellowship of congregations committed to caring, sharing, teaching, preaching and reaching people so as to bring them into a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit works dynamically within and through the congregations of the Oklahoma District. Lutherans built churches in Oklahoma before statehood and today, over 80 congregations ranging from small to large, rural to urban are found in most parts of the state.
As the original Protestant group, Lutherans have a heritage of over 500 years. The movement of reform that spawned the Protestant churches began on October 31, 1517 by an ordinary yet remarkable man named Martin Luther. Because of his efforts, Bible reading, hymn singing, and preaching became commonplace in the church. He showed by means of the Bible that through personal faith in Jesus Christ every Christian has access to God.
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. - Eph. 3:12 (NIV)
Lutherans are in every state of the U.S. and on every continent. The Lutheran Church is the largest Protestant family in the world, and third largest in the U.S. The LCMS has numerous partner churches throughout the world, and sends missionaries into many different nations. Lutherans are eager to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to invite you to share their church as your spiritual home. You can be assured of concerned pastoral care and of careful attention to the truth of God’s Word. The fellowship of our churches is warm and caring. We invite you to know and worship God with us.
