Over 100 years ago, an organizational meeting of what would become the Evangelical Lutheran Synod gathered at Lime Creek Lutheran Church. It was a matter of staying with the true confession of faith, which, by God’s grace, was the very foundation of the old Norwegian Synod under leaders such as Revs. H. A. Preus, J. A. Ottensen, and U.V. Koren. The reason for organizing, the reason for sacrificing friendships, the reason for stomaching the ridicule, the reason for investing their own precious time and limited financial resources went much deeper than a love for synodical heritage. It involved the heritage of God’s Word. It meant seeing the overriding need to stress God’s grace alone in every aspect of a sinner’s salvation. It meant abiding strictly with what Scripture teaches, as expounded also in the Lutheran Confessions, without reliance on human reason or questionable comments by certain earlier church fathers. (Rev J. A. Moldstad, Lutheran Sentinel, May-June 2018)
Throughout Lime Creek's history, God has provided faithful pastors to shepherd His people.
We thank the Lord for each man who has served this church and for the blessings received through their ministry.
