GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH WORSHIPING WITH THE SAINTS SEEING CHRIST IN OTHERS SHARING THE GIFTS OF GOD
“If you knew the gift of God…” John 4:10
Grace Lutheran Church is like a deep well of life-giving water on the corner of Queen and James Streets in the city of Lancaster.
It is a place where people from all walks of life come to be renewed for the tasks and challenges of daily life.
It is a place where people gather to support and encourage one another.
It is a place where people encounter the Spirit of Christ and experience transformation.
It is a place from which people venture forth to share God’s abundant gifts with others.
Listen to the Chime!

Did you know that the Bible has a lot to say about welcoming and inviting? Jesus tells us that the kingdom of God is like a dinner and God is inviting everyone to come. God is a good host. No matter who we are or where we've been, God opens his house to us, through his Son, Jesus Christ.
We are honored to offer God's hospitality to you here at Grace Lutheran Church. We invite you to join our community of worship, fellowship, and service. We welcome everyone, especially those who may not be "typical" Lutherans of this area. Members of every age share a wide variety of interests and responsibilities in the community. While many of our members are descended from the German/European peoples who established the Lutheran Church in Pennsylvania, we rejoice as our congregation reflects more and more the growing diversity of this city neighborhood, and the beauty of all God's people.
There are certainly many churches in the Lancaster area, but we hope you find the spirit of Grace Church to be especially inviting and inspiring.
