First English Evangelical Lutheran Church

About this church

First English Evangelical Lutheran Church on Richmond’s Monument Avenue begins adult and children’s Sunday School at 9:30 a.m., followed by worship at 10:30. Home-roasted coffee is served on the front steps from 9:30 to 10:20, giving first-time guests an easy point of contact before the liturgy. Worship is available in person and through a YouTube livestream, with recent services archived for later viewing. The congregation describes itself as a Lutheran community celebrating the gospel of Jesus Christ and seeking faithful life in God’s world.

Its social ministry offers a broad view of how that calling becomes local service. Published opportunities include food drives for Feed More, an FELC food pantry, CARITAS, Safe Haven, Stork’s Nest, eyeglass collection, Vacation Bible School, seasonal service projects, and the Souper Bowl of Caring. That mix lets participants contribute through food security, family support, material collection, children’s formation, or hands-on projects. First English may fit Richmond residents seeking one clearly scheduled Lutheran service, an education hour for adults and children, an informal coffee welcome, and dependable remote access. The church office is open weekday mornings for visitors who want to confirm seasonal schedules or ministry details.
