Christ Lutheran Church

About this church

Christ Lutheran Church in Washington, D.C., gathers for worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m., both in person at 5101 16th Street NW and online through a livestream on YouTube and Facebook. Services follow the Lutheran liturgy, with preaching, congregational prayer, music led by a choir, and Holy Communion celebrated weekly and offered to all. A fellowship time follows at 11:45 a.m. Printed bulletins help first-time visitors follow along, and attire ranges from Sunday best to casual clothes. The congregation has served the city since 1892 and has worshiped on 16th Street since 1931.

Children are part of the service. Busy bags, fidgets, and children's bulletins are available in the narthex, children's Bibles are in the pews, and a Prayground at the back of the sanctuary lets kids play quietly. A weekly Young People's Message is part of worship, and a Confirmation program serves seventh through ninth graders. Adults can join a Sunday morning Bible study at 9:30 a.m. and evening lecture-and-discussion sessions during the week, with current dates on the online calendar. Outreach includes peace vigils, a community garden, and support for migrant mothers. The church office is open Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and can be reached at (202) 829-6727.
