Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church was established in 1965 to serve the people living on the northeast side of Ann Arbor, Michigan. In the 43 years since, DSLC has continued in its mission, expanding to include members living throughout the metro area, and welcoming visitors from across the country.
As a community of Lutheran Christians, we hold to the great truths of the Reformation - Grace Alone! Faith Alone! Scripture Alone! We are one of several Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) congregations in Ann Arbor.
We enjoy worship and Bible study together - more than half of our morning worship attendees also attend Sunday School or Sunday morning Bible class.
We are in close proximity to a many universities in the area. We are only a few blocks from the University of Michigan's North Campus, less then 3 miles from Concordia University, Ann Arbor, and only a few minutes drive from Eastern Michigan University. We welcome all students, potential students, and their families.
We are small enough to meet all together for monthly game nights, occasional potlucks and bowling afternoons, and for our annual Chinese New Year celebration, Easter brunch, and a Thanksgiving dinner.
We also enjoy meeting together in small groups like Choir; Bible study; Senior lunches and outings; Youth Group outings and service projects; and a knitters group.
Our members are committed to serving our community and are encouraged to pursue individual outreach in their daily lives and through volunteering. Our members lead nursing home worship services, rock babies in hospitals, deliver Meals on Wheels, teach English as a second language; and volunteer as ESL conversation partners.
Together we reach out to our community and our world by raising money for special projects; collecting food for community foodbanks; knitting and crocheting for the sick, elderly, and disadvantaged; and volunteering and walking with Crop Walk.
