Our History
“Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20)
2003
Members of our sister congregations who lived in the southwest metro of the Twin Cities needed a worship location closer to home. In response to this need, they began a home Bible study. Soon, the meetings grew into monthly Sunday evening services in homes of members.
2016
The group was organized as an independent congregation, under the name Living Savior Lutheran Church. Jeff Radichel was the first president of the congregation. The worship site was moved to Huber Funeral Chapel on Glory Lane in Eden Prairie.
2018
Living Savior submitted its constitution and its requested for membership into the CLC (Church of the Lutheran Confession), a Lutheran synod founded in 1960. The congregation was received into membership by the CLC during its biannual biennial convention in June of 2018. The average attendance was around 30.
2019
As weekly attendance grew, it became clear that a full-time pastor was necessary. The combination of increased membership and the desire to serve others in the Eden Prairie area prompted the congregation to issue the full-time call.
2022
Pastor Luke Willitz received and accepted the call to become our first full-time pastor in the spring of 2022.
The congregation reached a new agreement with Huber Funeral Chapel, allowing us to hold special evening services in addition to Sunday services. The opportunity to offer these special services is a great blessing to us as we grow together in the Word of God!
