Duke Lutherans is a group of students – undergraduate, graduate, and professional – who hold the Gospel at the center of our lives.  We gather weekly in worship, fellowship, prayer, study, and service. All of these activities equip us to grow as individuals and as the body of Christ, enabling us to reach out into the communities in which we live.  It also keeps us grounded in God’s love for us as we struggle through all of the stresses of school. We invite you to join us at anytime and learn more about this community. 

Some words from Duke Lutherans:

Duke Lutherans, from my first days on campus to my last walk out after graduation, provided me with a foundation of fellowship, friends and faith. I was never far from someone with whom I could share a laugh, a talk or a hand to help someone else. I will remember my times there for the rest of my life.

Darren, Trinity, ‘06

While many people find their faith waning during their college years, I am blessed to be surrounded by individuals who have forced me to re-examine my faith, thus strengthening my relationship with God and with one another through the struggles and achievements that mark college life. Through friendships I have forged with spiritual leaders and fellow students, I have found a supportive community through God that has enriched my college experience.

Gretchen, Trinity ‘07

Our goals are to:

• Come together weekly to worship the Lord.
• Pray for one another.
• Build up the Body of Christ through fellowship.
• Learn more about our faith through Bible studies.
• Discern our vocational calls from God.
• Proclaim the Gospel to everyone in our lives through word and deed.
• Grow in our discpleship.
• Serve the Lord with gladness and our brothers and sisters with love!
