Our local congregation was established in 1868 by first generation Swedish-Americans who had brought devotion to Jesus (and very little else) with them as they immigrated from the old country.

Through these many years and still today, we seek to reach out to our neighbor in Jesus’ name–

• welcoming everyone God leads to us
• sharing the joy of life in Christ lived out in community with his people
• addressing spiritual needs for meaning and purpose through opportunities to engage in worship, prayer, devotional study, and helpful service in this world God loves
• seeking to help each individual to develop a positive, mature, personal commitment of faith in Jesus
• providing a place to exercise that faith in Christian service and caring, both in our church and in our community
• lending support and help in times of special crisis or need
• actively supporting God’s mission at home and beyond in partnership with our regional conference and denominational family
