Welcome

Picture
Welcome to Unity Evangelical Lutheran Church. We invite you to celebrate, discover and share the love of Jesus Christ with us. 

We are a diverse group of people from the neighborhood - children and elders, families and singles, straight and gay, black, white, African, Asian, and Latino, lifelong Christians, interfaith couples, converts and questioners. We join in worship and service, creating a community that shares the unconditional welcome of Jesus Christ. 

Unity is a spiritual home with a rich tradition, a heart for the city and a passion for justice. Our vision is to be an urban green space, welcoming everyone into a holy encounter where we are changed, that all may be fed as Jesus feeds us. 

You don't need to be a member to be part of our community! You are invited to join us for worship, get involved serving others, participate in any group or activity, and support one of our partner organizations.  We invite you to 
stop by the church and look around anytime.
