Lutherans, who immigrated to Pennsylvania from Germany, began worshipping near the village of Milton Grove around the year 1732. In the early 1750’s, the group moved to the William Bishop Farm on Ridge Road. On September 29, 1771, the growing congregation celebrated its first Liturgy at its current location on East High Street. Later becoming known as Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, the congregation has maintained a Lutheran Christian presence in the Elizabethtown community ever since.
The first church building was a simple log house. In 1805, the log structure was replaced by a brick structure, which was eventually razed in 1886, making way for the present building. The current building underwent two major interior renovations, with the first being in 1921. The second renovation was completed in 1946 in celebration of the congregation’s 175th anniversary. It was at that time that the beautiful stained glass windows depicting the saints were installed.
More than a building or location, Christ Lutheran Church is a body of believers committed to the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. This Good News is heard in the proclamation of the Scriptures, preaching and teaching and forgiveness of sins. The Gospel is made visible in the celebration of Baptism and Communion. As God’s priestly people and sacramental sign, the people of Christ Lutheran live out their faith in witness and service to Elizabethtown and beyond.
Whether you are looking for a church home, passing through town or just want to visit, you are welcome any time.
Our Mission
Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church is a community of disciples called and empowered by the Holy Spirit to receive and share the Light of Christ, through Liturgy, Fellowship, Education, Witness and Service.

Settled in 1719 and incorporated in 1838, West Donegal Township is named after County Donegal in Ireland. The original Township of Donegal was organized by the court of Chester County in 1722, and was one of the two townships which originally comprised Lancaster County at the time of its inception in 1729. The settlers of Donegal Township were primarily farmers of Scots-Irish descent who were drawn to the area by the rich soils and plentiful streams. Early settlers, Arthur Patterson and others, organized a Presbyterian Church at Donegal in 1726, and erected the old church edifice at that time. Mennonite and Brethren in Christ denominations were also represented in the early life of the Township. On the 24th of June, 1838, the original Township was divided in two, becoming what remains today as East Donegal and West Donegal Townships.
