The History of Christ Lutheran CHurch & School
Our Beginning
In the fall of 1960, six families began the journey of forming a mission congregation in the Brea/Fullerton area. The first service of Christ Lutheran Church was held on March 6, 1961, at the Wilson School of Dance on the corner of Catalpa Avenue and Oleander Street in Brea.
After a three-year search for a permanent home, approximately five acres at Imperial Highway and Arovista Avenue became available.
On May 3, 1964, more than 300 members gathered to break ground—literally pushing a plow through a field of weeds as a symbol of faith and new beginnings. Just weeks later, on May 28, 1964, trailers were installed on the property to host worship services while the church building was being constructed.

Growth & Expansion
Christ Lutheran Church continued to grow in both ministry and outreach. In 1972, a preschool was established to serve young families in the community.
In 1980, the ministry expanded further with the opening of the elementary school, creating opportunities to partner with families in the Christian education of their children.
Through the years, the church and school have continued to grow together, serving the Brea community and surrounding areas.
