Gloria Dei Lutheran Church

About this church

Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in San Jose, California, gathers for worship Sundays at 10 a.m. in person and by livestream, with a replay posted on the website Sunday evenings. A service runs about an hour and is rooted in historic church practices such as the creeds, confession, and the Lord's Supper, with open prayer and music from both past and present. Dress is casual, donuts and coffee are set out before worship, and there is plenty of parking on campus.

Children are welcome in the service, and childcare staffed by screened adults is available for ages five and under. The congregation has served East San Jose since 1954 and describes its mission as caring for one another, growing in faith, and serving the community. A preschool, the Gloria Dei Early Learning Center, operates on the campus for children from age two years nine months, and the website lists mission partners, a prayer ministry, and periodic family events. The church office, at 121 South White Road, is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; confirm hours on the website before stopping by.
