Our Savior Lutheran Church is located at 261 West 25th Street in Indianapolis, Indiana. The historic church was built in 1948 by the city's first African-American Lutheran congregation, which organized in 1939. The congregation is a member of the Indiana District of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod.
The red-brick structure is notable because it combined two styles of architecture, Late Gothic Revival and Tudor Revival, which were popular styles for religious buildings in the late nineteenth century. The L-shaped church was built in two sections. The original chapel, which dates from 1874–75, is Late Gothic Revival-style building. The Romanesque Revival-style main sanctuary was completed in 1887 on a limestone foundation laid in 1875. The sanctuary features round-arched windows, a rose window, and brick buttresses with limestone caps. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.
