Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

About this church

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Alexandria worships on Sundays from September through June at 9:30 a.m. in a traditional style with organ, and again at 10:45 a.m. in a contemporary style with piano. Fellowship takes place between the two services, and Sunday School begins at 10:45 a.m. During the summer, a single service meets at 10 a.m. Worship is liturgical, following an arranged order that changes with the season, and includes a children's message and Holy Communion. Services are available in person and online through YouTube. The congregation belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and is part of the Metro DC Synod.

Families can find Sunday School, a youth group for sixth grade and older, confirmation, first communion classes, acolyte and assisting minister roles, and Vacation Bible School. Adults can join Bible study, a young adult brunch group, and local and global service projects, including meals for a nearby Guest House. The church sits at Braddock and Luray, a short distance from the Braddock Road Metro station. It has no parking lot, though street parking is usually available, and an elevator and a lower-level nursery are provided. Dress is casual to formal. Children are welcome in worship, and busy bags are offered at the entrance.
