Zion Church Of the City Of Baltimore

About this church

Zion Church of the City of Baltimore offers a German-language service Sundays at 9:30 a.m. and an English service at 11:00 at 400 East Lexington Street. A Wednesday midweek service begins at 12:20 p.m., with Communion on the first Wednesday of each month. Sunday services are streamed live and archived, giving visitors a way to experience the congregation’s bilingual worship before arriving downtown.

Zion follows a traditional Lutheran liturgy and draws on the church’s sacramental and musical heritage. Holy Communion is celebrated weekly in the English service and every other week in the German service. A professional and volunteer choir supports worship, accompanied by a restored pipe organ. The congregation also maintains a German Language School, extending its cultural role beyond the Sunday liturgy. For a first visit, the language choice and Communion rhythm are the most important planning details: select 9:30 for German or 11:00 for English, and consult the current calendar if the Eucharistic schedule matters. The shorter Wednesday service offers another opportunity for worship in the city center during the workweek.
