Welcome!

Mt. Carmel Lutheran Church in San Luis Obispo, California, is a congregation of almost 500 members located just a few blocks from California Polytechnic State University.  We are a branch of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, an association of 11,000 Lutheran churches with 5.2 million members.

We would love to welcome you into our Mt. Carmel family, whether for a Sunday service while you're on vacation, a second church while you're at college, or as a new member--if you're looking for a faith and church to call "home".

We invite you to browse our website.  You might start out by looking at what Mt. Carmel stands for.  Or read the greeting from our Senior Pastor, Rev. Marj Funk-Pihl.  Or the greeting from our Campus and Parish Ministry pastor, Rev. Jana Schofield.  Don't hesitate to email the church with questions!  Please check out our busy calendar of services and events to find somewhere you might fit in.
