Is GLC involved with the Community?

Georgetown Lutheran Church (GLC) endeavors to reach out to the community by preparing meals once a month for those in need; works extensively with the Georgetown Ministry Center in assisting the homeless with addictions and who are eager to find jobs and who desire a better life for themselves and their families.

What about your Pastor?

The Rev. Phillip A. Gaines, a State of Georgia native, has been the Pastor of GLC and volunteer chaplain at Georgetown University since 2000. He was ordained in 1996. Before his Call to ministry of Word and Sacrament, he was an advertising executive for the Atlanta Journal and Constitution newspaper; was a member of the Atlanta Chapter of Lutherans’ Concerned and served on the AIDS-Atlanta board of directors.

"Pastor G" is known for his personal preaching style, yet always according to the Gospel lesson of the day.

He enjoys playing “interpretive” piano music, golf, Washington Nationals & Atlanta Braves baseball games.

But most of all, he enjoys welcoming people to GLC. He invites you to please consider worshiping with us soon.
