The purpose of this article is to describe biographies of Lutheran pastors serving in Białystok congregation since World War I until the parish was definitely closed down in 1978. This includes three different stages of history of the parish: the first one covers the interwar period. The parish, although reduced and impoverished as a result of the World War I, still had over two thousand members, employed two pastors and conducted many cultural, social and charity activities. Since World War II broke out, only occasional Lutheran worship services for German soldiers were celebrated. During the era of the communist Polish People's Republic the community had only about 30 members and was served by visiting pastors, coming – rather rarely – from distant Warsaw and Masuria; in 1978 the congregation was officially closed. This paper shortly presents profiles of all pastors that served in Białystok during the above period.
