Messiah Lutheran Church

About this church

Messiah Lutheran Church in downtown Harrisburg, Pennsylvania worships on Sundays at 10:30 a.m., with the service lasting until about 11:45 a.m., and holds a short Wednesday service at noon that runs about half an hour. The congregation, founded in 1860, is a member of the Lower Susquehanna Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and gathers weekly around word and sacrament. The church is at 901 North Sixth Street, and a Zoom option is listed on the website for those who cannot attend in person.

One of the church's best-known ministries is the Ecumenical Food Pantry, which operates from the building. It began in 1972 and is staffed by volunteers from more than 50 churches in the Harrisburg area. The website also lists Women of Messiah, a serving-others page, and a music ministry with a music director. Seasonal events and a weekly e-newsletter keep visitors informed, and an online shop is available. The office is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Confirm worship times on the website before a first visit.
