Our Redeemer Lutheran Church was organized as a mission congregation in August 1948. Services were temporarily held at Trinity Lutheran at 14th and Bluff in Wichita Falls. In 1949, property was purchased on Avenue H.

In February 1959, the congregation purchased a 12.7 acre site on Johnson Road. The mansion (modern day Hospice of Wichita Falls) on the property was renovated to include a chapel, Sunday School classrooms and a kitchen. In 1965, construction began on the building that currently houses Our Redeemer Lutheran Church. In July 1966, the Sanctuary was dedicated to the Glory of God. In August 1985, the church expanded again and added a large fellowship hall and kitchen. As the church continued to grow, the education wing was added in May of 1997.

 
 

Our Redeemer Lutheran Church continues to grow. We currently have education classes for children and teens from 2 through high school and multiple adult classes on Sunday morning and Wednesday evenings. We also have fellowship groups and active ministries for members and guests to get involved in the church. Over 200 members call Our Redeemer Lutheran Church home; we pray you will find a church home with us as well.
