We are a dual parish of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. In this dual parish we share in the one ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ to share the Gospel in our two unique communities. If you are visiting or passing through the Tecumseh, NE area or the Sterling, NE area, we hope that you will stop by and visit. If you have newly moved or about to move to our area, we would love it if you would consider joining us as your new church home.

Two Important Ballot Initiatives will be on the ballot for this year. The first one is Initiative 434. A yes vote would protect all the legislative gains to protect the lives of babies in the womb and still give room for future legislation to protect the lives of babies. The second one is Initiative 439. This initiative would enshrine abortion into our state's constitution. As this is violates God's command to protect life, it is imperative that every Christian voter votes no to this initiative. To summarize, a pro-life vote yes for Initiative 434 and vote no for Initiative 439.
