Lutheran Church of the Reformation

About this church

Lutheran Church of the Reformation in Washington, D.C., sits on East Capitol Street on Capitol Hill, about a block and a half from the U.S. Capitol. It is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. From early September through May, worship is held on Sundays at 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., and from June through Labor Day weekend there is a single service at 10:00 a.m. Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday. The early service is smaller, with an organ and a singer, while the 11:00 service features a choir and is the one streamed online on YouTube. Coffee and snacks follow each service.

Sunday education for all ages, including adults, meets between the services from September through May. A staffed nursery serves children four and under during those months, and the Blue Room at the back of the sanctuary is equipped with sound for caregivers with restless children. Small groups include a young adult Bible study on Wednesday evenings, a Thursday evening contemplative group using centering prayer and lectio divina, a monthly book club, and a baseball lunch group. Teens join a youth group shared with other Lutheran churches in the city. A food pantry operates Mondays and Tuesdays. Confirm current times on the website before visiting.
