Our Savior Lutheran Church Points People to Christ.

Our Savior Lutheran Church is an LCMS congregation committed to pointing people to Christ throughout northeast Nebraska and beyond, reflecting Him in our words, actions and service so that all may know Him as Savior and Lord.

Our Beliefs

Our Savior Lutheran Church teaches the love of the triune God: the father, the creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God's Word.
