Rev. Albrecht celebrates 25th ordination anniversary

PORT COQUITLAM, B.C. – Rev. Lucas Albrecht, pastor at Hope Lutheran Church and School, celebrated the 25^th anniversary of his ordination on January 3, 2024.

Rev. Lucas graduated from Concordia Seminary (Sao Leopoldo, Brazil) in 1998, and was ordained by his father, Rev. Curt Albrecht, in Curitiba, Brazil. His first Call was to serve Peace Lutheran Church in Campo Bom, Brazil, from 1999-2004. In 2004, he began ministry at The Lutheran University of Brazil (ULBRA), where he served in different calls: Campus Pastor and St. Paul’s Lutheran Church outpost planting (2004-2007); Campus Pastor, Communications Ministry (2008-2011); Head Chaplain – Canoas and nationwide (2012-2015); and Campus Pastor and Professor.

In 2017, Rev. Lucas moved to Canada after accepting a call as Associate Pastor at Mount Olive in Regina. In August 2023, he accepted a call to Hope Lutheran Church and School in Port Coquitlam.

Rev. Lucas also holds a Social Communications Bachelor’s degree from ULBRA and a Master of Sacred Theology from The Concordia Seminary in Sao Leopoldo, Brazil. He is currently a student of the Doctor of Ministry Program at Concordia Seminary (St. Louis, Missouri). Rev. Albrecht’s special ministry focuses include preaching, teaching, leadership, music, visitation, and multimedia ministry.

Rev. Albrecht is married to Djenane Hans Albrecht, and together they have two children, Charles and Rachel Sophie. In January 2023, Rev. Albrecht, Djenane, and Charles became Canadian citizens, which now makes the family a Canadian-Brazilian one. 

The 1998 class motto is: “The Lord is with you wherever you will go” (Joshua 1:9). Over the past 25 years of ministry, this verse has become increasingly significant and encouraging for Rev. Albrecht and his family. Accepting the call to Hope Lutheran made it his 7th call in ministry, as well as the ninth city and second country of residence in his life, all of them under the grace and guidance of the Good Shepherd, who blessed him with the privilege of serving Him as under-shepherd.

Rev. Lucas Andre Albrecht
