• Summary:With the tagline Radical welcome. Authentic community. Life-giving worship., Augustana is an open and affirming Reconciling in Christ congregation that explicitly welcomes LGBTQ+ people and is committed to racial equity and ongoing learning and action toward justice. Worship features rich music — a Létourneau Organ (Opus 66, refurbished 2022), a Steinway piano, and a volunteer adult choir (Sept–mid June) performing everything from Bach to African American spirituals and traditional folk — and is livestreamed on YouTube and Facebook; communion is open to all with periodic First Communion classes. Families will find Godly Play in a Children's Chapel for ages 5–5th grade (drop-off 10:00–10:15), a staffed nursery for newborns–age 4, a two‑year confirmation program for 6th–9th graders, and a monthly DC Youth Group for 7th–12th graders, while pastoral care includes Stephen Ministry, in‑home communion, transportation, and funeral refreshment teams. The church is located at 2100 New Hampshire Ave NW (corner of New Hampshire and V) in the Dupont Circle/U Street corridor, has an accessible entrance with elevator but no on‑site parking (street parking only), and asks visitors to call or email ahead because office hours are floating; congregants connect via a weekly e‑letter, a Breeze member portal (including online giving), and active social media links.
