Living Word Lutheran Church

About this church

Living Word Lutheran Church in Galena worships Sundays at 8:00 and 10:30 a.m., with Sunday School and adult Bible class at 9:15. Both services last about an hour and alternate between historic Lutheran liturgy with hymns and organ, and contemporary praise with piano, guitar, drums, and familiar Christian songs. The 10:30 service is livestreamed; from Memorial Day through Labor Day it moves to the outdoor pavilion, so visitors should dress for the weather and may bring a chair or blanket. Communion is celebrated every Sunday, with the church explaining its Lutheran understanding and invitation in detail online.

Families can use KidConnect during both services for nursery age through fifth grade, while middle- and high-school students worship with the congregation and join separate DelCo Youth activities. The church’s history began with fifty-four people meeting in an orthodontist’s office, continued through years as a portable “church in a box,” and includes resilience after a 2025 fire damaged its offices. Current ministry extends into growth groups, family events, food distributions, and service across central Ohio counties. Clothing ranges from jeans to dressier attire. Living Word is at 7539 Dustin Road and offers a particularly well-explained first visit for people comparing Lutheran worship styles.
