Tbilisi Lutheran church, Lutheran church in Tbilisi, Georgia.
Tbilisi Lutheran Church is a church building with a distinctive lemon-yellow facade combining baroque features with German architectural elements. The structure also incorporates local Georgian building traditions, visible in its overall design and decorative details.
German Swabians who settled in Georgia founded the first Lutheran community in the early 1800s, after which they constructed several churches across the region. This building stands as one of the results of that settlement and community establishment.
The congregation gathers for services in several languages, creating a space where people from different backgrounds can worship together. Regular worshippers and visitors find a welcoming place that reflects the diverse community living in the city.
The church can be reached conveniently on foot from Marjanishvili Metro Station through central Tbilisi streets. Its central location makes it easy to combine a visit with other activities around the city.
A statue of Pope John Paul II stands on the church grounds, commemorating his 1999 visit when he celebrated mass at this location. This monument links two religious traditions at one place and shows an ecumenical connection that developed over time.
