Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Rochester, MN.
Grounded in God’s love together in community
Join us for worship
We gather on Sundays at 9 am for a worship service that uses traditional worship “stuff” (Bible readings, prayers, sermon, songs) but doesn't get stuck in traditionalism. We’re not afraid to try new things!
New visitor? Old friend? Life-long Lutheran (or any other tradition)? Brand new to faith? We saved a spot for you!
No church home? Want to follow Christ? Have doubts? Do not believe? We saved a spot for you!
Regardless of age, color, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, marital status, or abilities…we saved a spot for you!

Podcast:
The Lore of Jesus: Roll for Discipleship
What is it? Why is it? Why are people laughing about a “door”?
If you have any of these questions or you’re just curious, then join Pastor Ben and 4 other ministry leaders from Southeastern Minnesota as they discover what it means to be disciples of Jesus, through a podcast!
Filled with daring, discernment, and a dash of silliness, The Lore of Jesus: Roll for Discipleship will take you on an epic Dungeons and Dragons journey following the trials and triumphs of four ordinary members of a Lutheran church council who are pulled through a portal into a magical fantasy world that doesn’t know (or care about) Jesus.
New episodes drop weekly on Sundays on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Good Shepherd Lutheran Church’s (Rochester, MN) website.
Join the party, and roll for discipleship!
Listen to the episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or here.
