Who We Are

Mission Statement:

God has called us, the baptized members of First Lutheran Church, Worthington, Minnesota, to proclaim the Gospel and make disciples of all people.

In obedience, we commit ourselves to the Lord’s ministry rooted in a fertile agriculture prairie of God’s creation. Relying on the promise of the Holy Spirit and through Word and Sacraments we will grow toward wholeness through worship, learning, service, witness, support and fellowship.

We are a member of the Southwestern MN ELCA.

We are a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

We are in a staff sharing relationship with Grace Lutheran of Ewington Township and pair with them consistently to provide opportunities.
