About this church
American Lutheran Church in De Smet worships Sunday at 9:30 a.m. and again at 7:00 p.m. The morning service is shared on Facebook Live, recorded for later viewing, and can be heard from a vehicle on FM 101.7. Communion is normally celebrated on the first and third Sundays of each month, giving visitors a clear sense of the congregation's Lutheran sacramental rhythm.
From September through May, Sunday School for preschool through sixth grade meets from 10:30 to 11:30, alongside fellowship after morning worship. Children participate through acolyte service, children's sermons, Bible presentations tied to baptism anniversaries, confirmation, and Vacation Bible School. Adult education, music, women's ministry, youth fellowship, and Operation Love broaden congregational life beyond the sanctuary. The church's phrase “Loving God, Growing Together” describes a small-town parish that combines worship with formation and community care. Visitors can choose the morning service followed by education and fellowship or the quieter evening option, then use the calendar and Facebook page for seasonal updates.
