We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation.
You are invited to participate in the life of the church regardless of your sexual orientation, gender expression, political leanings, religious affiliation, immigration status, or attitude toward lutefisk. We are a community of faith made up of imperfect people seeking the mystery of God’s love together; a church where beginners are welcome, forgiveness is proclaimed, inclusion in promised, and hope comes alive.

We are Partners in Ministry!
If you have a crisis or simply need someone to talk to, I invite you to call me.

My email address is lutchurch@boreal.org -Pastor Tom

We acknowledge that we live and worship on the traditional lands of our indigenous neighbors. We honor that we are able to build a community that reflects the culture and values of our immigrant forebears because the Ojibwe Nation gave us permission to do so through a series of treaties.

Start Off the Day With a Morning Meditation. Pastor Tom emails a short meditation each day of the week. If you’d like to receive these quick little essays about living the gospel in the midst of our daily routines, simply have Pastor Tom add you to our email list. All are invited to receive these meditations.
