Hosanna Lutheran Church

About this church

Hosanna Lutheran Church worships Sundays at 9:00 a.m. at 2815 57th Street NW in Rochester. Sermons and their biblical texts are posted online each week, allowing newcomers to sample the teaching even when they cannot join live. Worship draws on Scripture, music, art, sacraments, ritual, and blessing, and people of all ages may participate by reading, greeting, ushering, creating art, presenting drama, or sharing musical gifts.

An ELCA congregation in the Southeastern Minnesota Synod, Hosanna summarizes its identity as “gathered to grow and sent to serve.” Its published values include intergenerational ministry, hospitality, growing faith, grace-centered worship, varied music, genuine acceptance, and compassionate service. Musical participation ranges from choir for eighth graders through adults to an intergenerational choir and a contemporary ensemble that leads monthly. The Seeking to Bless project makes local generosity unusually tangible: worshipers add small gifts to a Blessing Bucks bucket, and one participant is sent to assist a person or organization in the Rochester community. The church reports that this practice has distributed more than $31,000 since February 2023, joining a simple Sunday schedule to visible neighborhood care.
