Martin Luther Evangelical Lutheran Church

About this church

Martin Luther Evangelical Lutheran Church in St. Louis gathers Sundays at 9:00 a.m. for a Divine Service lasting about an hour, followed by Bible class at 10:15. Worship centers on confession and absolution, Scripture, sermon, historic creeds, hymns, prayer, and weekly Holy Communion. The full order is printed in a worship folder. Special Wednesday services are added during Advent and Lent, and families are encouraged to keep children with them in the main service.

Founded in 1967, Martin Luther is a confessional Lutheran congregation in the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. It subscribes to the Book of Concord and uses hymns and liturgy to teach Christian doctrine as well as express praise. Communion is offered to confirmed members in fellowship with WELS or ELS; other visitors are asked to speak with the pastor before communing. That practice is explained plainly so guests are not surprised at the altar. Bible Information Class provides a path for people exploring Lutheran teaching or membership. The congregation averages around sixty worshipers, giving the service a small-parish setting near Interstate 270 in south St. Louis County.
