In 1913, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod sent
missionaries to China to preach the gospel. The Lutheran
Church-Missouri Synod, HK & Macau Mission was
established at that time. In 1949, the missionaries planned
to return to the United States, but when they saw so many
refugees in Hong Kong, they decided to stay and start
evangelical work in Hong Kong, and later established the
Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod Hong Kong Mission.

The Synod started many secondary schools, primary
schools and kindergartens from the 1960s onwards. The
schools also became bases of evangelical activities.
Many churches and mission stations held their meetings
in schools.

In 1977, Lutheran Social Service was set up. The
church gradually changed from a mission station to an
independent local church and registered as Lutheran
Church-Hong Kong Synod. It then became a“partner
church”of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod of the
United States. From then on, the Synod continued to
develop in the areas of evangelism, education and
social service.
