First Lutheran Church

About this church

First Lutheran Church in Birmingham is a congregation of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod on Highland Avenue South. Sunday begins with Sunday School and Bible study for all ages at 9 a.m., followed by worship with Holy Communion at 10:15 a.m. The site describes the service as a traditional, liturgical divine service in a family-friendly setting, with hymns rooted in scripture and music drawn from German and English traditions, including choir anthems and organ. Wednesday evening services are added during Lent and Advent.

During the week, the church offers a number of Bible studies: a ladies' study on the second and fourth Tuesdays, a Wednesday catechesis class with a potluck, an evening study on Zoom, Thursday Pub Theology, a Friday gathering with a potluck, and a men's study on the last Saturday of the month. A Saturday morning study also meets online. A potluck lunch follows the service on fifth Sundays. Outreach includes feeding the homeless, building houses with Habitat for Humanity, and special events such as Easter and fall activities. A music ministry, LWML, and devotional resources for Advent and Lent, including ones for children, are also listed. Worship is live streamed, parking is available, and the site notes access by MAX and Dart public transit. The office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; confirm times on the website before visiting.
