About First Lutheran Church
First Lutheran Church in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood welcomes all people to participate fully in worship and community. Rooted in more than 125 years of faithful worship in their sacred space, the church's purpose centers on sharing God's love with their neighbors through ministry and service in the downtown area and surrounding community. The congregation describes itself as a beautiful collection of people from all corners of the city, united by a calling to love their neighbors. Worship services run 60-75 minutes and feature Lutheran liturgy, congregational singing, biblical readings, preaching, and Holy Communion with an open table invitation to all. The church explicitly welcomes children, offering a Prayground with soft toys and books in the sanctuary as well as a nursery for younger children who need additional space. Whether arriving by car, bike, streetcar, or on foot, visitors will find greeters at the door ready to help them find their way.
