New Luther Centre Dedicated

The Lutheran Church in Malaysia and Singapore held a special Dedication and Thanksgiving Service for the new Luther Center, which replaced the old Luther House in Section 14 of Petaling Jaya, on 31st August.

The new church facility which has six floors, with a one-thousand sitting capacity, auditorium and a chapel, was built with the intention to serve the needs of the Lutheran church and the wider Christian community. It will also house the LCMS Headquarters and Glad Sounds bookshop.

The service was especially meaningful as it brought together the former retired Bishops, missionaries and other ecumenical representatives.

Preceding the Dedication Service, the LCMS concluded its 30th Biennial Convention in the new premise. Bishop Philip Lok was re-elected as Episcopal head of the church for another four years.

“The whole project took 14 years to envision and actualize, and now it stands to the glory of God. We hope Luther Centre will touch the hearts of all who will use the building,” said Bishop Lok in his introductory words of welcome.
