Incarnate Word, Rochester, NY

Welcome to The Lutheran Church of the Incarnate Word in Rochester, NY. We are a congregation of the Upstate New York Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We believe love is lived out in community where all people without exception are valued for the precious gifts of God that they are; where all people without exception know they have a place at God’s table forever.

We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation which opens wide its doors to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, their partners, spouses, and their families, and those who may have been excluded because of other distinctions such as race, economic status, ability, age or station in life.

You who hunger and thirst for wholeness, connectedness, and a sense of shalom, there is a place here for you. Join us on the journey of loving, learning, celebrating, singing, caring, growing, and serving.
