Augsburg Lutheran Church

Who we are

Augsburg Lutheran Church is an ELCA congregation rooted in Word and Sacrament. You will find liturgical worship that keeps the gospel at the center. The congregation gathers for Holy Communion each Sunday. Scripture readings follow the lectionary. Preaching connects the text to daily life with clarity. Music includes choir, organ, and congregational song. You will see children, students, adults, and seniors worshiping side by side. The flow is steady and welcoming for newcomers and long-time members alike.

Faith formation supports every age. Children learn through Sunday classes and music. Youth build friendships and serve together on trips and local projects. Adults join studies and small groups that read Scripture, pray, and discuss honest questions. The congregation serves Winston-Salem through partnerships that address hunger, housing, and education. Members give time, skills, and resources to meet real needs. If you want to contribute, the staff will match your interests with a ministry team. The goal is not busy work. The goal is faithful presence.

Augsburg’s campus sits on West Fifth Street near the center of the city. The building offers accessible entries and clear wayfinding. Greeters help you navigate parking and entrances. Ushers provide bulletins that guide each part of the service. If you are new to Lutheran worship, do not worry. The order of service will help you participate from your first Sunday. If you bring children, they are welcome in worship. Nursery care is available during morning services.

What to expect when you visit

Plan to arrive a few minutes early to park behind the building or along nearby streets. Enter through the main doors or the glass entrance off Pilot View Road. Pick up a worship folder at the door. After the service, stay for conversation and meet staff or volunteers who can answer your questions. Ask about current studies, choir options, and service projects. Someone will help you choose a next step that fits your week.
