It serves the communities of Venice, Mar Vista and Marina del Rey, and is in the Pacific Southwest District of the LCMS. The church offers both traditional and contemporary services and runs First Lutheran School of Venice.[1] The church was founded in 1944. With 331 members as of 2006, it is the third largest LCMS congregation in Los Angeles and the largest in its circuit, which includes churches in Beverly Hills, Inglewood and Santa Monica. Venice is home to a thriving artistic community, and First Lutheran "is described as an 'art friendly' church" that hosts programs "looking at the divine through visual arts, readings and music."[2] Since 2001, the church has hosted a Masters in the Chapel music series which has featured performances by artists from the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Los Angeles Baroque Orchestra and Los Angeles Master Chorale. The series was begun in the wake of the church's restoration, following a 1998 electrical fire which gutted the sanctuary.[3] Concerts take advantage of the fact that First Lutheran, "boasts an acoustically reverberant hall in which everything sounds entrancing."[3] The church's pipe organ, which was designed in 2004 by the builder of those at Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, is also featured in the events.[4] The church also features an external mural, Jesus Roller Skating with Friends in Venice Beach, created in 1997 by Ft. Maur Van Doorslaer a Benedictine monk from St. Andrew's Abbey in the Antelope Valley.[5][6] The work has been described as being second in local popularity only to Venice's Ballerina Clown[7] sculpture.[4] In popular cultureIn an episode of Safe At Home, Orson Bean writes in a light vein about the decision of his wife Alley Mills to be baptized as an adult by the pastor of First Lutheran, where the couple had been attending services regularly for several years, and of walking down to the beach together with "Pastor Ken," to fulfill Ally's wish to be baptized with the waters of the Pacific Ocean.[8] For many years, Bean and Mills have played roles in the Church's annual production of A Christmas Carol; Bean plays Ebenezer Scrooge.[9] First Lutheran SchoolFirst Lutheran School of Venice is a Lutheran elementary school on the Westside of Los Angeles with 75 students in classes ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade. Approximately 30% of students are members of First Lutheran Church of Venice, with the remaining 70% coming from a variety of faith backgrounds. The school was established in 1948. Students rank above the 90th percentile in standardized tests. The staff includes eight credentialed teachers, including principal Nancy Gill, two secretaries, a band director, a hot-lunch provider, and a team of daycare supervisors. After 70 years in the Venice community, the church decided to close the school in 2018.[10] References1. ^{{cite book|title=Los Angeles Residents' Guide|date=2008|publisher=Explorer Publishing|isbn=9948858522|page=94}} 2. ^{{cite news|last1=Stammer|first1=Larry B.|title=Southern California File|url=https://search.proquest.com/news/docview/421711485/fulltext/DF60EFA93925401DPQ/7?accountid=10226|accessdate=27 November 2017|publisher=Los Angeles Times|date=7 October 2002}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Swed|first1=Marc|title=Want to hear the real La La Land?
