Faith Lutheran Church

71 West First Street
607-962-4970

Corning Episcopalians Consecrated A Gray Stone, Early GothicChurch On The Corner Of Erie Avenue (The Present Denison Parkway) And Walnut Street. Local "Corning Stone" Was Used To Build This House Of Worship.

In March Of 1889, Sparks From A Nearby Hotel Fire Did Considerable Damage To The Church. Following Repairs, The Congregation Worshiped In The Church As Best They Could Until A New One Was Built Nearby. In 1896, The OldChurch Was Sold To The German Evangelical Lutherans. Later, The U.S. Government Acquired The Site For The Present Post Office And Assisted In The Moving Of The Exterior Of The Church To Its Present Site At 71 West First Street. It Has Been A LutheranChurch Ever Since That Time.

In The 1930s, RedeemerLutheranChurch Was Formed As A Mission Congregation Of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Pastors From Wellsboro, Pa. Served The Congregation Into The 1940s When The Congregation Called A Fulltime Pastor. In The Mid 1970s, Redeemer Chose To Leave The Lc-Ms. At That Time, A Small Group Of Parishioners, Wishing To Remain A Congregation Of The Lc-Ms, Formed FaithLutheranChurch And Continued Holding Services In The Building.

By God's Grace And With Faith In Him, The Congregation Has Continued To Teach And Preach God's Word Throughout The Years.
