Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church And Preschool
Committed to reaching out with the love of Jesus.
Mt.Calvary Lutheran Church of La Grange, Texas had its origin as a result of a merger of Trinity Lutheran Church, which was located approximately three miles west of La Grange, and Zion Lutheran Church, which was located at 800 North Franklin Street in La Grange. December 11, 1892 was the date when Trinity Lutheran Church was organized. Thirteen months earlier, Pastor G.W. Buchschacher of Warda, Texas began conducting services in La Grange. In the summer of 1892, the new mission church received its first resident pastor, the Rev. Traugott Zoch, who had just graduated from the seminary in Springfield, Illinois. It was he who decided that greater opportunity for a congregation lay west of La Grange, and so it was that Trinity was established in the area later known as Trinity Hill.
