Your Bio
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan & the Holy Land (ELCJHL) warmly welcomes visitors and pilgrims to the Holy Land from around the world.
Though Palestinian Christians have been here since the first Pentecost, the roots of the ELCJHL are in the mid-19th century when German and English missionaries came to teach and minister to the local people.
Today, we have five congregations in Jerusalem, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Amman, Jordan. The churches in Amman and Ramallah are comprised largely of families of refugees who fled their homes at the time of the tragic wars that followed the formation of Israel. In addition, we operate four schools and four education programs.
