Our Story

Rock of the Foothills is a church rooted in the radical love of God shown to us in Jesus. Because of that love, we are a warm and hospitable community where you will be welcomed whole-heartedly. Located in La Verne, CA our church sits at the base of the San Gabriel mountain range. These sturdy mountains rise up behind the church reminding us that Jesus is a solid rock upon which we can build our lives. Our vision statement is, “Building Strong Lives on Christ the Solid Rock.” We strive to follow him not just on Sundays, but every day of our lives. Our hope is to be one of the many ways that God tells the good news of Jesus to the world.

Rock of the Foothills Lutheran Church is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. While it is a young congregation, it has roots that go back many years. In 2002, Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church of La Verne and First Lutheran Church of Pomona merged to create Rock of the Foothills. Our Saviour’s was formed in 1976 and First Lutheran was started in 1917.
