Greetings in the name of Christ the Lord!
Luther Memorial is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Founded in 1886, our church serves the Blacksburg community, including the student and academic populations of Virginia Tech, and residents of Southwest Virginia’s New River Valley.
Our Social Ministry Outreach extends far beyond the campus and Blacksburg boundaries as we minister to the world, following the example of Jesus Christ. Our mission partners include the ELCA, the Virginia Synod of the ELCA, and many local, regional and national non-profit agencies.
Come experience our compassionate, vibrant faith community, rejoicing with us in worship; studying and learning with us in Christian Education and Faith Formation; fostering deep relationships in fellowship and serving with us as we minister to the least and the lost in our community and the world to do God’s Work with Our Hands.
