Community Lutheran Church was started 19 yrs ago in 1988 as a church plant by Grace Lutheran church of Escondido.  Dr. Charles Keturakat founded and began this new church and served as their pastor until November 1989 when the current pastor, William Vogelsang, Jr., was called.

On Christmas Eve of 1992 the church’s first worship service was held at their current location at the bottom of the grade on the corner of Valley Parkway and Lake Wohlford Road. Their preschool opened in January of 1993.  As it continued to grow, the congregation expanded its parking lot and added a Ministry Building, which was dedicated in September of 2001. Over one fourth of the congregation resides in Valley Center.  Community Lutheran has now outgrown its current worship area and is building a 560 seat sanctuary. This will free up needed space for its ever expanding youth and family ministries.

Grading has begun and building will begin in December with a completion date scheduled for late summer of 2008.  Once building has begun you can follow the progress by web cam by logging onto the church web site at www.clcesc.org.  Bycor Corporation has been chosen as the general contractor for the 5.5 million dollar project.
