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
Baptism gives you a clear future. It means that where Jesus is going, you are going—point A to point B. In your sin, you might deviate from that path—and sometimes significantly. But Jesus by His grace is constantly calling you back, constantly forgiving your sins, and guiding you in the right direction through His Word and Sacraments...Read detail
Those are faithful and true words, “this Man has done nothing wrong.” Jesus was perfectly innocent. He was the only innocent man at the scene—the only innocent man in the whole world. He was entirely holy, not a bad bone in His body. So why was He nailed to a cross to die? The criminal next to Him knew: Jesus was suffering for him. The innocent Man had taken on the sin of the guilty. The world’s Savior was hanging next to him...Read detail
“But Jesus, I have sinned!” we say, “I’m not worthy to come to Your table!” And Jesus replies, “whoever comes to me I will never cast out” (Joh. 6:37). His Supper is for sinners. If you recognize your sin and are sorry for it, His Supper is for you. He gave His body on the cross and shed His blood in payment for your sins, and now gives you the same holy body and cleansing blood for your comfort and strength...Read detail
