First English Lutheran Church, located in Baltimore, MD, is a community-focused congregation celebrating its bicentennial in 2025. Founded by Rev. John Gottlieb Morris, a noted butterfly scientist, the church actively engages its members and the local community through various activities and events, including an upcoming trip to Ladew Topiary Gardens. The church emphasizes its commitment to spiritual growth and community outreach, highlighted by its 2022-2025 Capital Campaign aimed at essential repairs and enhancements. In addition to in-person worship services, First English Lutheran also provides online access to its Sunday services for those unable to attend in person. Generated from the website
