In 1962, Martin Luther Church purchased the building, which had been erected in 1955 and was known as the Lakeshore Gospel Temple. Over the decades, the building has undergone considerable extensions and changes to accommodate Lutheran church life. A major step was the beautification in 2003, two years before the 50 th anniversary of the Martin Luther Congregation, by installing a set of 20 stained glass windows (Red Dala Glassworks). Since then, the colourful façade with the red cross is a landmark within a neighbourhood that is in a revitalization process.

The Martin Luther Church is a small but vibrant church, which combines faithfulness to her German roots with openness for a modern diversity. It is proud to serve the local community by providing day care for 72 children. Martin Luther Church is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) and the Protestant Church of Germany (EKD) and has many excellent relationships to organizations and faith communities in the area.

Visitors will be able to enjoy modern stained glass windows, which were produced with an exceptional variety of glass in the colours of the rainbow. Darker coloured windows with violet glass in the back of the church becoming brighter towards the altar. The windows have motives that symbolize the church year and various aspects of church life. Explanations to symbols will be provided.

The church will be open on Saturday May 26th 10 am – 5 pm and Sunday May 27th 12:30 pm – 5 pm.

Saturday at 2:30 p.m. and Sunday at 12:30 p.m.: Organ recital (pipe organ with 564 pipes) with explanation following.

Saturday and Sunday on the hour: Short film presentation providing basic information about Lutheranism.

On Sunday, the worship begins at 11:00 am, the topic will be "Celebrating 500 Years of Lutheranism".

Martin Luther Church Day Care

Martin Luther Church Day Care
Our child daycare is a small centre which offers a family type, personalized atmosphere and full-day programs to children. 
We have 72 spaces for children from the ages of 18 months to 12 years. We deliberately chose to remain a small facility to create a comfortable and warm environment to which children can adjust quickly and where they feel safe, secure and happy.  We believe that a child learns through play. Therefore, we provide a child-centred program with a "learning by doing" approach.  All our fulltime teachers have recognized Early Childhood Education (E.C.E.) diplomas. Our staff members guide children through the stages of physical, emotional, cognitive and social growth by exposing them to: physical exercise, arts and crafts, story reading, supervised naps, singing, educational toys, etc.  We provide an understanding, loving, challenging and intriguing place for your child to learn and grow.
