Grace Lutheran Church
46 Woodland Street, Hartford, CT 06105

Grace Lutheran Church adopted its present name following the merger of Trinity and St. Paul's Lutheran Churches in 1943. It was formerly located Russ and Babcock Streets in Hartford

The baptismal font (to the right) is a replica of Thorwaldsen's original in Copenhagen, Denmark. The font was given in 1928 in memory of Ruth Neupert by her mother.

On May 14, 2000, the people of Grace Lutheran Church celebrated the 50th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone.

Our year of celebration was highlighted by the Service of Rededication on Sunday, January 14, 2001.

As we reflected on the past 50 years, we also took the opportunity to look forward.

In the fall of 2004, the congregation concluded an Appreciative Inquiry process as part of its self study in preparation for calling a new pastor. This year, that inquiry was followed up by small-group conversations with Pastor Steege. As a result of these conversations, the Congregation Council has prepared a new vision statement to be presented to the congregation at its Annual Meeting on November 6.
