ABOUT US
Christ Lutheran Church is a metropolitan congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Founded in 1887 to serve English-speaking Lutherans in South Baltimore, by the 1920s the congregation had members throughout the region. Firmly committed to the Gospel and the City of Baltimore, Christ Church was a leader in the rebirth of the Inner Harbor and the Federal Hill and Otterbein neighborhoods.
Christ Lutheran Church offers a variety of worship opportunities each week: On Sundays, traditional worship at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. and Contemporary Worship at 8:45 a.m. (9:45 a.m. during the summer), all with Word and Sacrament. And on Wednesdays, a service of prayer at 11:00 a.m. and Candlelight Holy Communion at 7:15 p.m., both in our chapel.
The congregation also offers extensive programs in education for persons of all ages; a nursery school for two-, three- and four-year-olds; and a year-round homeless shelter for forty women and children. Vibrant youth and health ministries are also part of a church that is open and busy 24/7.
We are a diverse and inclusive fellowship, blessed to be a blessing to others. Whether you are a visitor for a day or a member for a lifetime, we cherish your presence. The original church sign from 1887 hangs in our coffee hour room. Its message is timeless and true: “Every Seat Free. Everybody Welcome.”
