Lutheran Church of the Newtons

About this church

Lutheran Church of the Newtons in Newton Centre worships Sundays at 9:30 a.m. in person and online, followed by fellowship at 10:30 and occasional morning forums at 11:00. Children's Church for preschool through fifth grade normally begins during the service after opening hymns, prayers, and a children's message, then returns for Communion and the closing hymn; it is on summer break as of August 2026. Wednesday Zoom Compline also resumes in September after its summer pause.

The ELCA congregation is rooted in Lutheran liturgy and seeks to carry Christ's loving kindness, justice, and peace beyond worship. It has been Reconciling in Christ since 2000, explicitly welcoming people across sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression while working toward racial equity. Community service focuses on people who are unhoused, hungry, immigrants, refugees, and workers with low wages through food pantries, shelters, donation drives, and interfaith partnerships. Saturday Bible study meets at 9:00 a.m. in hybrid form. Visitors can expect an inclusive liturgical service, Communion, wide-ranging sacred music, and fellowship immediately afterward.
