Additional Description
The First Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Records (1934-1976) contain photographic copies of correspondence, sermons, newspaper clippings, and photographs relating to the establishment and early years of the church.
In 1935, the California-Nevada district of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod established a church in Las Vegas, Nevada, named the First Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Located on South Maryland Parkway, the first service hosted over forty parishioners, and was originally called The First Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd. In 1950, when a school was added to the property, the name was officially changed to First Good Shepherd.
