Who We Are
St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, Elgin Texas has a congregation which is deeply rooted in a small town which is experiencing rapid expansion because of a close proximity to the capital city of Austin. The City of Elgin recently coined the phrase “perfectly situated” to describe itself. We believe that St. Peter’s is also “perfectly situated” in its ability to grow and prosper in our community. The community has grown exponentially and St. Peter’s hopes to encourage growth within the newest sections of our community.
Our congregation is one that has a rich history of involvement in the community. Our members can be found leading and participating in almost every community organization that supports others. Some examples are the Community Food Bank, Meals on Wheels program, Relay for Life, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Friends of the Elgin Library, Operation Christmas Child, Elgin Caregivers, Elgin Soup Kitchen, Crop Walk and many others. We are arguably one of the most active congregations in our local community.
At present our congregation is made up of 350 members. This number is derived from a thorough update of our membership rolls, which was completed in July of 2011. As a congregation we have been under the guidance of an interim pastor since the fall of 2010.
Our congregation is ready for the next chapter in our life as a church body. We are ready for new ideas and are excited about the possibilities of expanding our ministries to include many new families of all social, ethnic and economic backgrounds. We hope to call a vibrant pastor who can help us accomplish these goals while satisfying the traditions of our long term members as well.
President,
Stephen Kylberg
