About Mighty Fortress
Mighty Fortress Evangelical Lutheran Church's first worship service
was conducted at Boots Ward Recreation Center in Powder Springs,
GA on March 24, 2002. By July of 2002, 22 communicants and 38
souls had officially join the church. In May of 2006, 5.8 acres of land
were purchased at 4425 Macland Road in Hiram, and construction of
worship facilities soon commenced. On July 5, 2009, Mighty
Fortress officially moved into its new home and conducted its first
worship service.
We are a group of Christians of all ages, nationalities, and races. We
are called "Lutheran" to commemorate the 16th century reformer,
Dr. Martin Luther, who shook up the church of his day by bringing
people back to the Bible. The motto of the Lutheran Church to this
day is "Scripture alone," "Faith alone," "Grace alone." The name
"Mighty Fortress" is taken from Psalm 94 verse 22 which reads, "The
Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock on whom I take
refuge." The name also reflects Martin Luther's most famous hymn,
"A Mighty Fortress is Our God."
