About this church

First Evangelical Lutheran Church in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) that gathers for worship each Sunday at 10 a.m. The church describes its worship as rooted in the Word and Sacraments within the Lutheran tradition, with music playing a prominent part.

The site also lists Oceans of Grace, fellowship, committees, partnerships and Lazarus Boat Works among its ministries, and it mentions Bible study, outreach and coffee after the service as ways to get involved.
