About Authentic Christianity

Bringing authentic Christianity to the university and Bloomington communities is the primary focus of our ministry located where both connect at the corner of 7th and Fess Streets, just across from Dunn Meadow and the landmark Indiana Memorial Union. University Lutheran Church is a genuine Christian community for all ages: small children, Indiana University undergraduate and graduate students, couples, internationals, young professionals, and a few retired people!

We come together weekly in fellowship around God’s Word and Sacrament to receive His gifts of life, salvation, and the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ our Savior. We learn from God’s Word how to interpret the world as a member of God’s household, recognizing both the joy of living as His forgiven children in the midst God’s beautiful creation, and the pitfalls we face serving in our vocations in a secular postmodern world. We enjoy getting together for things throughout the week, whether it’s “The Best Meal You’ll Have All Week” for students, a weeknight Bible study, or packaging over 11,000 meals for local schoolchildren at our Generosity Feeds event.

At University Lutheran Church we foster a connection to Christ, to each other, and to all who confess Christ throughout the whole Christian Church on earth for all time. This connection brings true peace and joy, because Christ is Peace and is the head of His body, the Church.

Looking for authentic Christianity? We imperfect people gathered at the corner of 7th and Fess invite you to receive forgiveness and life with us, given by our perfect Savior Jesus Christ.
