The history of First English Lutheran Church began on May 7, 1900, when a small group of Lutherans desiring services in the English language, voted to organize. (Prior to this, St. Ansgar's Lutheran Church was the only Lutheran church in Cannon Falls, and they worshipped using the Swedish language as late as 1927.)
On June 17, 1900, a constitution was adopted and the first pastor was Rev. M.E. Boulton.
On December 15, 1901, a committee was selected to find and solicit funding for a church building.
By May 7, 1905, a new church building was dedicated on our current site.

Foundation Board
The First English Lutheran Church Foundation was established in 1982 by action of the First English Lutheran Church. Initial funding came from an estate gift which together with many other gifts enables our members to provide a living fund in order to carry out the programs of the church and to respond to the mission needs around us. The members of First English Lutheran Church thankfully receive these gifts of love and prayerfully continue their stewardship to the glory of God.
