The Latvian Church of Indianapolis unites Latvian Lutherans with an aim to preach God’s Word in our own language and to cultivate our spiritual traditions in today’s multicultural environment. The Church provides liturgical services every week in the Latvian Language. The Congregation has a Bible Study Group, Youth Group, Sunday School and a Women’s Auxiliary Group. The Sunday School group meets once a month. After each service in the fall, winter and spring, a light lunch is served to promote and continue fellowship.

The Latvian Ev. Lut. Church of Indianapolis is a member of the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (LELBA).

The Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church of Indianapolis has gathered Latvian Lutherans for more than 60 years. In the past, there were various Latvian Lutheran congregations in the Indianapolis area, but over time these congregations have unified. Today there is one Latvian Lutheran Church for the entire state of Indiana.

The Latvian Church continues many beloved Latvian annual traditions and events. In the spring, the Church has Palm Sunday Brunch, Easter Morning Pancake breakfast, Mother’s/ Family Day Brunch & Program and the 14 of June Remembrance Service. In the fall, there is the Church Picnic and the Harvest Day Brunch. During the winter, Latvia’s Independence Day Service, the Advent Concert, Bake Sale, and Advent Brunch.

Today, the Latvian Church is a community of about 100 families who are of Latvian heritage, have Latvian family members, or have interest in a culturally diverse Lutheran experience.
