The English Evangelical Lutheran Church(Submitted on November 2, 2025, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)of Our Savior was established in early 1915 in Port Washington as an independent, English-speaking congregation at a time when many Lutherans were rooted in the immigrant cultures of the Lutheran territories in Northern Europe. Our church mothers and fathers intentionally sought to serve the entire Cow Neck peninsula while maintaining a distinctive Lutheran identity and style. The congregation has served thousands of girls, boys, women and men over the years, welcoming all from different denominational backgrounds.
