Our StoryOn April 10, 1860, a handful of men, women and children were gathered together through the Spirit's leading and gave birth to First Evangelical Swedish Lutheran Church.
A first church building was constructed, as a gathering place for the community to worship God. Members quickly recognized God's leading to move and grow, and our current sanctuary was built, as a continuation of the work God has called this community of faith to do. Over the years additions have been built, new ministries started, and service to the community and world exercised in the name of Jesus. Through it all, God has been our dwelling place--in all generations.
