University Lutheran Church

About this church

University Lutheran Church in Seattle's University District is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, part of the Northwest Washington Synod. Worship is held on Sundays at 10 a.m., with doors opening at 9:30 a.m., and lasts about an hour. Communion is celebrated every week, and the table is open to all. The service is offered both in person and by livestream, and people joining online are invited to prepare a piece of bread and some wine or juice at home to take part in communion. Dress ranges from Sunday best to casual.

Fellowship follows worship in the lounge outside the sanctuary, and intergenerational activities such as forums, quilting, and board games often begin about 20 minutes after the service ends. The church is at 1604 NE 50th Street, with off-street parking at the north end of the campus. Metro bus 79 stops at the corner, and the U District light rail station is about five blocks away. The campus also has event rental spaces, including the sanctuary, chapel, courtyard, and Oak Hall. The office is open weekdays; call (206) 525-7074 to confirm details.
