"The Women's Synod"
 First Lutheran Church of Los Angeles, California, founded 1887 is now
the oldest ELCA congregation in that city. Through support of the
Women’s Home and Foreign Missionary Society, Rev. C.W. Heisler was sent
as missionary to the city. The congregation itself later assisted in
establishing St. Mark’s and St. Paul’s in Los Angeles; Trinity,
Pasadena; First, Glendale; and Trinity, Long Beach. So many
congregations were founded due to the WHFMS that the General Synod’s
California Synod became known as the “The Women’s Synod.” |
