Benton Lutheran Church

About this church

Benton Lutheran Church in Crooks, South Dakota, holds worship on Sunday mornings at 10:45 a.m., preceded by Sunday school from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Communion is offered at every Sunday service. From Memorial Day to Labor Day the schedule shifts to a single 10 a.m. worship service with no Sunday school, so it is worth confirming times with the church office. Recorded services are posted on the congregation's Facebook page.

The church grew out of a rural congregation formed by Swedish immigrants in the 1870s, and the building has served the surrounding farm communities for well over a century. Children's ministry includes Sunday school for ages three through fifth grade from September through May, along with prayer pillows, communion instruction, seasonal activities, camp experiences, and deeper Bible study as children grow. Adults can join the Monday pie-baking group, known locally as the Pie Ladies, or take part in mission and evangelism projects such as donation drives, food banquets, trips to a community on the Rosebud Reservation, storm cleanup, and delivering meals. Volunteers are also sought for music and for helping with youth. The office can be reached by phone or email with questions.
