About First Lutheran Church

First Lutheran Church sits at 1100 East Superior Street, on the corridor between downtown Duluth and the East End. It belongs to the Northeastern Minnesota Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

The Superior Street corridor here is one of the more walkable stretches in the city and carries several of Duluth's larger congregations within a few blocks of each other, so households in the East End and lower Congdon have an unusual amount of choice within walking distance. That density of institutions is part of what distinguishes the older east-side neighbourhoods from the newer hilltop ones.

Founding year and building history are not established here. The service times shown were taken from the congregation's own site and checked on 14 August 2026; note that the second, outdoor service in Leif Erikson Park is a summer arrangement rather than a year-round one. Confirm before attending, since schedules change.

Service times: Sunday 8:30 a.m. in the sanctuary, also broadcast on KDAL and streamed to YouTube; in summer an additional 10:00 a.m. outdoor service in Leif Erikson Park. Confirmed with the congregation's own site 14 Aug 2026. From the congregation's own site, whose bulletin was dated 2026-08-16 at the time of checking. The 10:00 a.m. outdoor service is seasonal, so treat it as a summer arrangement rather than year-round. Times change. Confirm before you attend.
