WORSHIP

 We gather faithfully in all kinds of weather to renew and to our strengthen our own faith and presence of God within this world.

WORSHIP is not to only 'feel good', nor a struggle between contemporary vs. traditional Gospel, but rather a blending of all strains of Christ's Church from over the centuries as well as today!

While we are a 'litugurical church', this doesn't enslave us to to anything contrary to God's Word. The heritage enriches our worship and presents the fullness of God's Word in reading and preaching. Liturgy serves us, we do not serve LITURGY!

Before you come to experience our worship, why not hear us on our weekly podcacts, WPHM.net, podcats, OUR SAVIOUR. It is a safe way to experence us.

LIFE AT OUR SAVIOUR The congregation originated in 1920 when members of Trinity Lutheran Church wanted to have services in the English language.  The library, now the Museum of Art and History, was used until 1922 when the home on this corner was purchased.  Services were held on the first floor of the home while the Pastor and his family lived upstairs. The present sanctuary was dedicated in 1930, built at the cost of 30,000 dollars. Radio broadcast of the 8:30 o-clock service has continued since April 2nd, 1939. Stained glass windows were installed in 1944.  There are in series, depicting the life, teaching, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ.  Educational unit was built in 1961.
