First Lutheran Church

Welcome to First Lutheran Church, a warm and welcoming place of worship located at 2800 McCallie Avenue, Chattanooga, Tennessee. As a proud member of the Lutheran Church of the Missouri Synod (LCMS), we are dedicated to sharing the message of forgiveness, life, and salvation through the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. We hold steadfast in the belief that Jesus will return to bring all believers to Heaven.

At First Lutheran Church, we offer traditional worship services every Sunday, with special services held on occasion. Our services are designed to provide a meaningful and enriching experience, whether you join us in-person or via our livestream. Our congregation is known for its friendly and welcoming nature, ensuring that guests feel at home. Worship details, including the order of service and hymns, can be found in the hymnals and service bulletins provided. We encourage you to fill out a connection card so we can learn more about you.

Holy Communion is an integral part of our worship, celebrated at each service except during the 9:30 AM Matins Service on the 5th Sundays. If you wish to partake in the Lord’s Supper, please speak with our Pastor or an Usher before the service. For those attending the 11:00 AM service or the 9:30 AM 5th Sunday Matins Service, a staffed nursery is available for your convenience.

In addition to worship, First Lutheran Church is committed to Christian education through the Belvoir Christian Academy (BCA) and offers a serene Church camp along Possum Creek for relaxation and fellowship on Sunday afternoons.

Our ministries are a vital part of our community, focused on using our time, talents, and resources to bless others, study God’s word, and enjoy fellowship with one another. We invite you to join us in this mission and explore the many ways you can become part of our church family.

Come and see what makes First Lutheran Church a beacon of faith, fellowship, and community in Chattanooga. We look forward to welcoming you!
