Who We Are
Our churches were first established in the area over 150 years ago, but the roots of our faith run far deeper. We are Lutherans, which means we trace our history back to the church reform movement of the sixteenth century. But those reformers did not set out to start a new church with novel teachings and unique practices. They wanted to correct the errors and abuses that had entered the Roman Church.
The Lutheran reformers—and we with them—trace our history back to the New Testament church founded by Jesus through His apostles. We confess the historic Christian faith, summarized here:







What to Expect
Our beliefs shape our practices. What we learn from the Bible guides what we do together. Our primary focus in our weekly worship services is not what we do for God, but what He does for us. He comes to serve us with forgiveness and life, and we respond with thanks and praise. If you are able to join us for one of our services, this is what you can expect:

How to Learn More
The Saude, Jerico, and Redeemer congregations are part of a larger church body called the Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS), which is in fellowship with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). The map below shows some of the congregations that are part of our circuit in Iowa and south central Minnesota (go to the ELS website for more information).

To find out more about our beliefs, please click the buttons below. Our pastor also regularly offers a “Christianity 101 Class” on the basic teachings of the Bible for any who are interested.
What are these?
The Small Catechism was published by Martin Luther in 1529 as a teaching tool for children.
The Augsburg Confession was delivered before the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, in 1530 to explain where the Roman Church had departed from Biblical teaching.
The ELS adopted a doctrinal statement in 1992 to address current issues and challenges to the Christian faith in our day.

From the Pulpit
You cannot see Him now, but He is present to help you. You see His presence in Joseph’s life when He made everything Joseph did successful through his thirteen years as a slave and a prisoner in Egypt. You see His presence in your life, too, when you remember how He comforted you through His Word, how He forgave your many sins, how He continued to invite you to eat His own body and drink His own blood. His power, His life, and His salvation are hidden in His Word and Sacraments...Read detail
You see not as the world sees. You know who Jesus is. He is the perfect Son of God who took on flesh to save you. He did not hate those who hated Him, including you and me in our unbelief. He loved us. He came to offer the full payment for all sin, not with anything perishable like silver or gold. He offered His own precious blood (1Pe. 1:18-19). His blood washes away the stain of sin that others have put on us and that we have put on others, so that we don’t need to hold on to our anger and hatred any longer. We forgive as He has forgiven us...Read detail
At various times in our life, He may seem to be ignoring us or even opposing us. This is because He wants to exercise our faith. He certainly isn’t trying to drive us away from Him. He wants us to recognize our weaknesses, so that we trust in His strength. He wants to teach us to let go of what we cannot control and instead cling tightly to His Word and promises...Read detail
