Six decades ago, a fledgling mission congregation in the southern end of the Okanagan Valley was officially inaugurated as "Our Redeemer Lutheran Church" in Penticton. Reverend Alvin Miller, who so lovingly and ably led this effort, was doing double duty in the early 1960's, also shepherding the bilingual St. John's Lutheran Church in Oliver at the time.
Over the years, ORLC, as an active worshipping, singing, learning, caring community, has accumulated countless memories. Since every person who came through our doors contributed to ORLC by their presence and their "talents" in their own particular way, the life of this "extended family" has never seen a dull moment.
