First of all, that’s wonderful.

You are welcomed, and you belong to God.

We believe God redeems the world though Jesus Christ, and calls all of his beloved ones into service to our neighbor. No matter your story, your concerns, your successes or your fears, God forgives…and God calls each one…to serve and grow together.  See our mission statement at the bottom of our website.

How might First Lutheran be a spiritual home for you? Each Sunday God sends a mix of faces and stories to this place: those new to the community, those returning to worship after a time away, those from other traditions, families, singles, members who are younger, older, and everyone in-between.

We worship at 9 am each Sunday.  Holiday worship and other events are listed in the calendar of this website, though quarterly newsletter mailings, and our monthly email, Ministry @First.  The most up-to-date details are often on the church Facebook page.

Baptism and Holy Communion are offered to all who believe in and desire the sacraments.  You may contact the church office to request pastoral care, Baptism and Holy Communion instruction, new member or transfer information, or other assistance.

Sunday School RALLY DAY for 3 yo Preschool-Grade 6 is September 14, 2025.  We have a two-semester structure; fall and spring.  Spring Semester of Sunday School begins in early January 2026 (calendar and registration form will have all specifics).  Make an appointment to visit with our Director of Children’s Ministry (office at south end of the building) to ensure a smooth transition and warm welcome.

However you get here, please join us. Our Sunday Worship, and our Education Hour, just isn’t the same without you! (And neither is our Monday-Saturday)

Welcome.

We worship, serve, study, sing and pray in the wonderful community of Blooming Prairie, MN at 434 First St SW.  Here’s a map that will help you arrive.
