Welcome to Gethsemane Lutheran Church,
in Christ, in the city.

Gethsemane Lutheran Church is a member of the Northwest Washington Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and is the oldest Lutheran congregation in Seattle, founded in 1885. Gethsemane is open and affirming and has been a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) congregation since 1997.

Located in the heart of downtown Seattle on the corner of 9th and Stewart, the membership and ministries of Gethsemane Lutheran Church are challenged to be an urban faith.
