About us

 

Located in the heart of the university, Luther Memorial Church is a community in which people of faith and reason come to worship, study, pray and serve.  We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

People sometimes refer to the Luther Memorial building as a “cathedral.” But since a cathedral must house a bishop’s chair (cathedra), Luther Memorial technically isn’t that.  It is more: a neo-gothic church built in classic cruciform (cross-shaped) style, our stone building proclaims the ancient yet ever-modern mystery of the crucified and risen Christ made visible.
