Our Saviour's Lutheran Church

About this church

Our Saviour's Lutheran Church gathers at 9:30 a.m. Sunday at 2315 Chicago Avenue South in Minneapolis. The congregation is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and is a Reconciling in Christ community, explicitly welcoming people across sexual orientation, gender identity, race, culture, age, ability, and economic circumstance. Worship sits at the center of parish life, while an adult forum at 9 a.m. on many Sundays from September through May and a Wednesday Zoom Bible study from 10:15 a.m. to noon provide smaller settings for questions and learning.

The congregation was founded by Norwegian immigrants in 1869 and has worshiped near 24th Street and Chicago Avenue since 1912. After a 1995 fire, a new church was completed in 2000 with windows designed to keep worship visually connected to the neighborhood. That outward-facing identity continues through a garden that supplies produce to the Waite House food pantry, quilts made for Lutheran World Relief, and a neighborhood oven used for community gatherings. Several human-service efforts that began at the church later developed into a separate nonprofit organization. A first-time guest can begin with the single Sunday service, then use the formation or outreach pages to find an interest-based route into this historically rooted, neighborhood-focused congregation.
