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!

Mission Statement:

Holy Spirit to embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to proclaim the Good
News of Salvation and the Promise of Everlasting Life. In Christian unity we dedicate
ourselves and our resources to the praise and glory of our
Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

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....”
