Agnus Dei Lutheran Church

Agnus Dei Lutheran Church - Fredericksburg, VA

A Traditional Lutheran Church in Spotsylvania & Fredericksburg, Virginia Area

Liturgical, Traditional, Confessional

Those looking for a traditional Lutheran church in the Spotsylvania & Fredericksburg Virginia area will find one here at Agnus Dei. While many modern Lutherans pursue various religious fads, you will find with us instead a liturgical, reverent, consistent, orthodox, and Bible-based practice and teaching. We believe in the Bible to be the inspired(2 Tim 3:16) Living(Heb 4:12) Word of God. We also recognize Luther's Small Catechism and the Book of Concord to be in accordance with the Word of God. Since we are a family-sized church, the pastor and everyone will quickly know your name!

Church Postponed this week

As a small church we are quite sensitive to what happens during summer vacation time. This Sunday's service (June 25) will be postponed until the following Sunday (July 2).

Church Time & Location
We meet Sunday mornings at 9:00am for Divine Service and Bible Study at Germanna Community College. From I-95 exit 126/126B take 17 south. After 17 turns east and crosses over I-95, take a left at the traffic light on to Germanna Point Dr. Proceed down that street to the end. We meet in the Workforce Development and Technology Building on the northeast side of the campus--usually in room 105-A.

The street name has been undergoing change. It has been labeled both Germanna Point Drive and simply Germanna Drive.

Bible Study

The adult topic will vary from week to week and can be topical or a verse-by-verse or chapter-by-chapter study of a book from the Bible. We are currently surveying the Bible beginning with the first book: Genesis. The study is bringing up a wide variety of contemporary issues and their biblical sources. We always address any timely questions from the congregation too--making application of God's Word to daily life. Please join us and bring along a Bible if you have one. We look forward to seeing you there!

The children continue to learn traditional Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments using the very Lutheran curriculum Christ-Light from NPH, as well as memorization of Luther's Small Catechism and hymns out of the Lutheran Service Book (hymnal) that will last them a lifetime. The content is not dumbed-down but challenges the children to know their Bibles and the one true God who created them and saved them.

The Pastor

Pastor James R Shaw serves as the pastor as the congregation grows in the one true Christian faith. He has completed an intensive 4-year Masters of Divinity program through Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, IN. He also currently serves as Vice President of Administration CIO/CTO of Walther Theological Seminary in Decatur, IL where he also teaches online seminary classes on church history and Lutheran theology.

The Congregation

The congregation is composed of families with small children and empty-nesters. The church size is small enough that you won't get lost and personal attention can be given to each member and family. It is also home-school, public school, and private school friendly. God is blessing the humble efforts of a small group of dedicated individuals. Come visit. Come see for yourself what God the Holy Spirit is doing at this faithful church in the Fredericksburg/ Spotsylvania area.
