OUR SAVIOUR LUTHERAN CHURCH
Welcome.
Located at 90-04 175 ST in Jamaica, NY 11432
Our Saviour Lutheran Church, organized in 1923, is a diverse congregation located in the fast changing, urban area of Jamaica, Queens, NYC. We gather together to celebrate in Word and Sacrament the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to root our hope in the power of God’s word. Persons from twenty-six nations of origin comprise this growing family of God who have been touched by God’s love and respond by giving our lives in friendship and service.
We welcome the opportunity to walk with you or members of your family through important passages of life: baptism, first communion, weddings, funerals, as well as services in your home. Please view our various ministries, or speak to our pastors for more information. 90-04 175 ST Jamaica, NY 11432
