How The Church Can Help You!
People seek out the church for many, many
reasons.
Sometimes, they are looking for a spiritual
home.
Sometimes, they are in crisis looking for
support, help and guidance.
Sometimes, there are practical reasons: they
want to be married in a church or there is a
baby
that needs to be baptized or their children need
to come to Sunday School!
Whatever your reason – that is why we are here!

Church History:
Stewart Avenue Evangelical Lutheran Church was
established in 1919 when the
Lutheran City Mission Society sought land from
Mr. Charles Clause to establish a church.
Mr. Clause donated an old barn which was
converted into a chapel and dedicated
on the first Sunday in May 1920. The bell which
is located in the Narthex dates
back to the founding congregation. On May 23,
1920, the new congregation was
permanently organized and a motion was passed
that the name of the Church would be
“The Stewart Avenue Evangelical Lutheran Church
of Carrick.”
The church continued to grow and in 1953 a
building fund was started to put on an addition
to the church.
Ground breaking ceremonies were held on March
16, 1958 and on March 8, 1959
the new sanctuary was dedicated. We are a
congregation of the ELCA, Southwestern PA Synod.
The congregation has strong German Roots and now
reaches out to a diversity of people.
“I shall say nothing here about the pure
pleasure a [person] gets from having
studied ... how at home by himself he
can read all kinds of things, talk and
associate with educated people, and
travel and do business in foreign
lands....”- Martin Luther
