First Lutheran Church

About this church

First Lutheran Church in St. Peter, Minnesota, is a congregation of the ELCA that gathers for worship twice a week: Sunday at 10 a.m. and Wednesday at 6:15 p.m. Services run between 35 and 60 minutes and follow a liturgical pattern that reflects the Lutheran tradition. Dress is casual or formal, and the site notes that some attendees wear suit coats while others wear jeans. Communion is open to everyone, with gluten-free wafers and grape juice available on request, and parents or guardians decide whether a child is ready to participate. Communion classes are offered for students in second grade.

Beyond worship, the church lists Wednesday programming, a youth group, summer opportunities, and music ministry that includes an adult choir, children's choir, and handbell choir. Committees cover areas such as altar guild, building and grounds, fellowship, social justice, and stewardship. The congregation also oversees Resurrection Cemetery. The church is a Reconciling in Christ congregation. Worship takes place at the intersection of Sunrise Drive and Traverse Road, at 1114 Traverse Road. Services can be watched live or recorded on Facebook and YouTube, and on St. Peter Public Access. A weekly bulletin archive and a monthly newsletter are posted online. The office is open Monday through Friday, and visitors can call 507-934-3060. Confirm times on the website before visiting, especially in bad weather, when cancellations are announced by email, Facebook, local radio and TV.
