Gustavus
Adolphus Lutheran Church proclaims that the Gospel is
God’s gift to all people, to be shared unconditionally.
We rejoice in the manner in which diversity has enriched,
nurtured and challenged the life and ministry we share
in Christ. We know that the world is often an unloving
place and that the experience of alienation is all too
common. Because Christ reconciles us, we welcome people
of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations,
gender identities, physical and mental abilities, educational
levels, and socioeconomic backgrounds. We strive to be
an evermore welcoming community. Following the example
of Christ, we extend a most heartfelt welcome to all. |
Our History |
Gustavus Adolphus Lutheran Church was started by Swedish Lutherans during 1914 at the church's current location in northeast Minneapolis. Parents wanted to have a Sunday School that was closer than the church they were attending. The two mile walk was difficult in the winter and this section of Minneapolis had more people moving into it. A new church, Gustavus Adolphus, was started in a small wooden building at the corner of 27th and Lincoln Street.During the following years, the congregation grew with the community. The original building became too small and the current building was constructed in 1937. Several expansions were made with the latest in 1992, adding a new front entry and elevator. Throughout this time, Gustavus Adolphus Minneapolis established itself by serving the needs of its community and families. Ninety-five years later, we're still commited to serving the needs of our community and its residents while looking to the future. We thank God for many, many blessings and the people that make up our congregation and neighborhood. We welcome you to come and worship with us. |
