Our History

Resurrection Lutheran Church has existed in the Corpus Christi area since as early as 1969 in the form of Zion Lutheran Church. When the members of Zion closed the church and sold the property in 1986, they tested the spirits with other Lutheran teaching. When they found it wanting, they were led to start again with the establishment of another CLC congregation in 1991. A new beginning was another reason for the name Resurrection Lutheran Church. Over the years, Pastors Daniel Fleischer, Arvid Gullerud, Jay Hartmann, Paul Larsen,  Dale Redlin, Norbert Reim, Andrew Schaller and Edward Starkey have served Resurrection.

The current pastor, Samuel Naumann was installed on July 7, 2019.

Pastor emeritus Daniel Fleischer served both Zion and Resurrection for a total of over twenty years. Resurrection has also made their pastors available to the vacancies at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in Weslaco, Texas as well as Our Shepherd Evangelical Lutheran Church in Conroe, Texas. Currently the church sits on an acre of property at 201 Princess Dr. Corpus Christi, Texas 78410. The property has many mature Mesquite trees as well as a few Oak trees as well.Though the age and makeup of the membership has surely changed over the years the important things remain the same: The members of Resurrection are still dedicated to spreading the true word of God to the Coastal Bend area.
