Our Community

Through worship and the Word, fine artistic ministries, outstanding programs for children, youth and adults, and extensive community outreach, King of Glory is a place where people can grow together in faith and make a difference in the world for Christ. Our mission—to be and to make growing disciples.

King of Glory was one of five founding churches of Family Gateway, a charter participant in Dallas Area Interfaith, and the first church outside South Dallas to actively participate in the Foundation for Community Empowerment's In The City For Good. We continue to offer a loving and supportive environment that receives people as they are, enables them to discover themselves and their relationship to God, and equips them to serve our community and world in deeds of compassion, justice, and peace.

Our History

The name "King of Glory", taken from Psalm 24, was given to a new mission church in 1957. Worship services were held at Preston Hollow Elementary School until 1958 when we moved into our new building on Willow Lane in Dallas. Over the next 10 years, we grew steadily and a new sanctuary and education facility on LBJ Freeway were completed and we moved to our current site in 1968. Membership had doubled by 1970 and more education space and a new building addition were provided. In 1984, we expanded with a new Sanctuary and in 1995 we completed a seven year project when a pipe organ built by Rosales Organ Builders was installed. In March 2001 a new facility consolidating rooms for education, office space, and activity areas was dedicated.

Our Denomination

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

 

Northern Texas - Northern Louisiana Mission Area of the ELCA

Martin Luther's Seal. A black cross in a heart, in the middle of a white rose, in a field of sky-blue, and all surrounded by a gold ring.

What do Lutherans Believe?

Lutherans believe in the Trinity; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Lutherans confess God as Father and creator of the universe.

Lutherans confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The Good News of Jesus Christ is the power of God for the salvation of all who believe. Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, human beings can be reconciled to God.

Lutherans believe that Holy Spirit calls, gathers, enlightens, sanctifies, and keeps the whole Christian church on earth.

Lutherans believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the written Word of God. Inspired by God's Spirit speaking through their authors, they record and announce God's revelation centering in Jesus Christ. The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the authoritative source and norm of the church's proclamation, faith, and life.

Lutherans believe that all human beings are born in sin and can't live the life God intends for us on our own. We believe that we are justified by grace through faith on account of Christ.

Lutherans understand that God comes to us through the Means of Grace, the Word of God and the Sacraments of Baptism and Communion. Through them, God helps us understand and receive the benefits of a relationship with Him. God graciously speaks to us through the Law, what we need to do; and the Gospel, what He has done for us.
