The Lutheran Episcopal Ministry @MIT

For over thirty-five years, Lutherans and Episcopalians have supported a vital, pastoral, and liturgical ministry at MIT. 

The LEM community gathers in the MIT Chapel, Wednesday afternoons at 5:15, all year, every week, rain, blizzard or shine!  We pray. We sup.  We welcome you.
