Lutheran Church Georgetown

Had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful historic Georgetown landmark for the wedding of a sorority sister. The church is located in the heart of the ever-​busy Georgetown. However, is a place of tranquility and peace in the mist of the surrounding area’s hussle. Its has a lot of primitive charm and made an absolutely great wedding location.

Georgetown Lutheran Church is the oldest Lutheran congregation in Washington, DC. Thirty-​Two years before the city of Washington became the capital of our nation, a Lutheran congregation was organized in Georgetown, north of the Potomac River. Its existence can be documented as early as 1769.
The German Lutheran church, as Georgetown Lutheran was known, established itself at the corner of High and Fourth Streets (at its present location) in 1766. Colonel Charles Beatty, one of the original founders of the town, had set apart this lot of ground for the sole use and benefit of the Lutheran Church, under the condition «that they would build on it within a reasonable time a house of worship, which would conduce to diffuse piety, to enhance the value of his property, and to adorn his additional to Georgetown.»
