Who we are
Reformation Lutheran Church was founded in 1961 as part of the old United Lutheran Church. The following year it became part of the Lutheran Church in America and then in 1988 the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The Congregation was formed as a means of having a Lutheran presence in the Denbigh section of Newport News. Since 1961, Reformation has served our community in many and various ways. In 1998 the Reformation Lutheran Childcare was formed, serving children in our area from infancy through pre-school. The Congregation works with local charities like Thrive, Menchville House, the Foodbank of the Virginia Peninsula and Lutheran agencies like World Hunger Appeal and Lutheran Social Services. We are a people who believe in salvation by grace through the gift of faith and all are welcome in our family of faith. We hope you will join us Sundays at 9:45 AM. and for special services throughout the year. God's Work, Our Hands. Come as you are.

Reformation Lutheran Church hosts a wonderful week of Vacation Bible School (VBS) in July. Throughout the week, children come together to grow in faith, learn about God’s love, and enjoy Bible stories, music, crafts, games, and fellowship. It is a joyful week filled with laughter, friendship, and lasting memories.Menchville House
Menchville House Ministries is Newport News' family emergency shelter focused on helping families regain stability through temporary housing, case management, and compassionate support. Menchville House began in 1998 as the vision of three women to establish a shelter for homeless women and their children. The community helped transform an apartment building into a group home, and the first family moved in during April 2001.
Today, Menchville House serves homeless families through private family rooms, coordinated entry partnerships, trauma-informed case management, and supportive services designed to help children and parents stabilize together.Mildred McDaniel Concert Series
