Sesquicentennial in Swede Hill

First Evangelical Lutheran Church in East Greenwich Celebrates Sesquicentennial at 150 years!

During this Jubilee Year, we are celebrating 150 years of the Lutheran faith in East Greenwich, which predates even the earliest Lutheran churches in Rhode Island. “Knowing Jesus, we love and care for all through the power of Christ” is the current mission statement. All are welcome.

The Swedish language was spoken in church services until 1928 when Swedish and English were spoken on alternate Sundays. In 1943, use of the Swedish language was discontinued, and the church name changed from the Swedish Lutheran Church of East Greenwich to First Evangelical Lutheran Church (FELC).

After 150 years, First Lutheran is still “gathered around the Word of God to grow as individuals and as a congregation”. We hope that if you are looking for a spiritual relationship and a community of faith that you will consider a visit to First Evangelical Lutheran Church (FELC) of East Greenwich. Help us to bring the FELC into the next 150 years through service, fellowship, and worship.
