In 1935, the California-Nevada district of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod established a church in Las Vegas, Nevada. Located on South Maryland Parkway, the first service hosted over forty parishioners, with the church originally named the First Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd. In 1950, when a school was added to the property, the name was officially changed to First Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and School.
