House next to a Lutheran Church

5 replies

So looking to buy a house. it's on the corner of a t-junction and the other side of the road next to it is a Lutheran Church. I am worried that Sunday mornings might be noisy with lots of people etc but can't check atm as the Churches are close. There isn't a steeple or bells or anything but don't know if they use big organs or anything.

Anyone have any experiences near a Lutheran Church?

Thanks

Ha our local church has no bell tower etc they use a Recording and speakers. But it’s not annoying barely notice it. The more annoying thing is those that try and park in front of the drive as ‘I’m just going to service I won’t be long.’

Round here many churches have about 20 people attending of a Sunday - you might notice nothing! More evangelical ones that attract a younger crowd can be very busy.
Lutheran isn't like that. But, it's going to attract Lutherans from a wider radius (ie it's not a local parish church) so might be a number of cars. Have you been on their website? Sometimes there are photos where you might be able to see the numbers.
Even if it is inconvenient on a Sunday I wouldn't let that put me off a house I like for the rest of the week!

But to say that’s not specific to any church.

I wouldn't think that any music or sounds from the church would be particularly disturbing.

The parking might be another issue (and not just on Sunday, as other community groups are likely to use the space on different days).

A church is likely to be more receptive to hear from you about inconsiderate parking or behaviour than other venues might be though - as long as you aren't objecting to the acts of worship themselves. Bad parking, anti social behaviour etc. will be addressed in the newsletter and maybe by announcements.

That's a good point. If there's a hall, it might be let out for scouts/brownies/Zumba classes all sorts of things. Ones near us do birthday parties.
