Resurrection Lutheran Church

The first Lutheran service “in Cambridge” of what would become Resurrection Lutheran Church was held at St Michael’s Church on Trinity Street. But, in reality, the congregation first gathered on Easter Sunday 1958 at RAF Lakenheath – and so the name Resurrection is most befitting. However, the name wasn’t applied until later in the congregation’s history for by Easter Sunday 1960 it was being called the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Cambridge. Rev. Norman Nagel conducted that inaugural service in Lakenheath with 22 attending and 13 receiving Communion. As word of the Lutheran services began to spread about, attendance started to climb and it was soon necessary to hold a second service every month.  This second service in the month was first held in Cambridge on Reformation Day 1958 with 98 people attending. In the early 80's and for some time after Resurrection twinned with Redeemer Lutheran Church in Harlow. In the early 2000's Resurrection incorporated what would become Ascension Lutheran Church. More recently, about 10 years ago, Resurrection started the Oxford Lutheran Mission which meets three times per month. When Resurrection is used by the Westfield House community our church is called The Chapel of St Titus. Resurrection is also home to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of England’s internet radio station Lutheran Radio UK. To our risen Lord Jesus be all glory!
