About this church
Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church, an ELCA congregation in the Crestwood area of Washington, gathers for worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. The service follows a traditional Lutheran liturgy with hymns, prayer, and readings from Scripture, supported by a choir and organist. Holy Communion is celebrated, and all baptized Christians are invited to receive it. Anyone who is not baptized or prefers not to receive can ask for a blessing instead. The service can also be watched online through the church's YouTube channel.
The church describes itself as small, and its programs reflect that. A choir rehearses on Sundays at 9:00 a.m., before worship, and welcomes new singers as well as instrumentalists who would like to play in services. Sunday School meets in the lounge during worship, and youth activities are scheduled from time to time, sometimes together with a neighboring Lutheran church. Bible study meets online on Wednesday nights, and the church council meets after worship on the second Sunday of the month. Outreach includes food pantries and yard sales. First-time visitors are invited to dress comfortably and to sign the guest book at the entrance. The church is at 4300 16th Street NW, and the phone number is 202-829-9400.
