History

The present Lutheran Church of Our Blessed Savior originated when two local congregations, the German Lutheran Church and the English Lutheran Church, joined together to form one church located at the corner of West Washington and Black Streets. With the combined congregations Lutherans have been a proud presence for nearly 110 years while maintaining one of the most beautiful and historic churches in Alexandria.
