Pastor's Message

Welcome to Lutheran Church of the Abiding Presence, a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We are a vibrant, faith filled community of children, teenagers, adults and seniors. Whatever your age or background, I believe that you will find a welcome place in this congregation. We invite you to come however you are and join us as we seek to know God and serve God’s people.

Here at Abiding Presence we don’t profess to have all of the answers. Instead we come together as a community of believers to ask the questions so that we can grow in faith and understanding. We do this in the context of worship, small groups, Bible Studies, Wednesday night “Bridge Night” (a time for dinner, fellowship and education), and service in the global and local community.

If you would like to learn more about the congregation, please look around further on our website. You can also visit our Facebook page or come see us in person. If you are wondering what Lutheran’s believe, click here for more information.

Whether you are new to the Burke area or have lived here for years, please visit us at Abiding Presence. I look forward to welcoming you at worship. I am always available for individual conversation if you would like to learn more about the congregation, the Lutheran church or explore faith questions. Please do not hesitate to be in touch. I can be reached by email or through the church office at 703-455-7500.

Blessings,

Pastor Meredith Lovell Keseley
