Who We Are

North Riverdale Lutheran Church loves and accepts all people no matter how you were created. As one of the first churches in Dayton to be LGBTQIA+ friendly, we believe in cultivating a loving and affirming community that believes God delights in the uniqueness of each of us.  We invite you to visit our church family and experience one of the friendliest churches in Dayton.

Loving GOD, Serving GRACEFULLY
We are an active congregation serving our community always striving to growing spiritually through thoughtful exploration of God’s love and grace.

A congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America – ELCA
In partnership with over four million members in the United States.  Locally, we are affiliated with the Southern Ohio Synod of the ELCA.  This allows us to leverage our ministry throughout the world through Lutheran World Relief and the Lutheran World Federation.

Holy Communion is celebrated on the first and third Sundays of each month with our Interim Pastor Richard Freudenberger. On each of the other Sundays, we have a Service of the Word that is led by one of our members.
