Luther Memorial Church is a Lutheran congregation at 1021 University Avenue in Madison, Wisconsin in the United States.

A member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), it is known for its worship, music, education, social ministry and preschool programs.

The congregation's cathedral-like Neogothic-style building, designed by local architects Claude & Starck and built in 1923, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.

The congregation initially rented space in Gates of Heaven Synagogue for weekly worship.

[2] In 1915 the congregation had a chapel which could seat 300 built at 626 University Avenue, designed by the Madison architect firm of Louis Claude & Edward Starck.

[2] In 1920 the congregation commissioned Claude & Starck to design a larger church building modeled on European cathedrals.

The architects designed a Neogothic-style building with a vertical emphasis, pointing toward heaven like old Gothic Revival style, but with a newer flavor in the low arch-tops above windows and doors.

The front of the building facing University Avenue is 100 feet tall and symmetric, with rectangular columns and buttresses flanking the main entrance.

[2][5] The main building was designated as a Madison Landmark in 2011,[6] and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.

Performing regularly throughout the church year are the following ensembles: Adult choir (50 members of all ages) performing Sunday mornings sacred music ranging from plainsong chant to contemporary compositions in English, Latin, and occasionally German or Russian (Church Slavonic).

IHN, now called The Road Home, is a Madison-based organization that provides housing for homeless people in churches on a rotating basis.

[14] Luther Memorial continued as host congregation until early 2018, when The Road Home ended that program.

[15] Luther Memorial was the first Adopt-a-House church partner with Habitat for Humanity of Dane County, Wisconsin, raising money and providing volunteers in 1993 to build a house for a family in need.

[16] The congregation embraces its location amid the Madison campus of the University of Wisconsin, by involving students in all parts of the church life.

[5] Luther Memorial is also one of three covenant congregations in partnership with the Lutheran Campus Center (LCC) next door at 325 N. Mills Street.

The preschool closed in 2015 after the city school district began offering free kindergarten to four year old children.
