First Lutheran Church of Boston - Peter Muhlenberg

299 Berkeley St

Prior to this church’s construction Lutherans first settled in Pennsylvania and spread from there. This is not the location of Peter Muhlenberg but simply a later example.

One particular Lutheran of note is Peter Muhlenberg. Peter Muhlenberg (1746-1807) was the prime example of a "Fighting Parson" during the Revolutionary War. The eldest son of the Lutheran patriarch Henry Melchoir Muhlenberg, young Muhlenberg at the conclusion of a sermon in January 1776 to his congregation in Woodstock, Virginia, threw off his clerical robes to reveal the uniform of a Virginia militia officer. Having served with distinction throughout the war, Muhlenberg commanded a brigade that successfully stormed the British lines at Yorktown. He retired from the army in 1783 as a brevetted Major General.

What fruitage did these spiritual leaders produce? Mt 7:15-20. Consider John 17:16 vs Acts 20:29, 30. What would Jesus have said seeing this?

This church charter was granted by the state in 1839 making it the First Lutheran church in New England. It’s known for its 18th century North German Baroque Pipe Organ that is the only organ in Boston with an historically accurate sound for the works of JS Bach.
