In
1950, Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church had its humble beginnings in a garage
at the corner of Deindorfer and Bay Street. The purchase of this property was
approved for our mission on December 31, 1949. The garage was remodeled as a meeting
center and was dedicated on October 1, 1950, by Dr. Norman A. Menter. There were
200 members in attendance on that day. The first Sunday School began a week later. |
As our Family of Faith grew, so did our need to enlarge our worship area.
In 1965 with 1200 baptized members and 900 confirmed members, ground was broken
for our new and improved church. November 6, 1966, was the dedication ceremony
for our new worship area.
|
Currently, Faith has about 750 baptized members. Throughout the years, these
members diligently worked to maintain the church grounds and structure. However,
as time passed, the members of Faith felt that the Lord was guiding the congregation
to seek a more responsible stewardship of their financial resources.
|
As a result of this seeking, the building at 2405 Bay Street was sold to another
worshiping body. While in transition, the people of Our Saviour Lutheran Church,
2525 Hemmeter, graciously shared their worship space with Faith. On June 22,
2008, the dedication service for our new church building at 4432 Mackinaw Road
was held. Praise be to God for His innumerable blessings!

forward together, we reaffirm our mission: To creatively share the love
of Jesus with all in our community. Whether traveling on vacation, moving
to the area, or currently residing in Saginaw, our friendly congregation
invites you to stop by and worship with us. |
