Who We Are

St. Michael Lutheran Church is a member of Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC), an association of more than 800 Lutheran congregations dedicated to sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.  Together we strive to live God-centered lives, loving and serving God in everything we say and do.  The Holy Bible is our source and norm for what we teach and believe.  We pray together, fellowship together, and minister together, serving our neighbors near and far with the gifts God gives us.  You can learn more about LCMC at www.LCMC.net.

​

At the core of our congregation's identity is disciple-making.  To be a disciple of Jesus means to deny ourselves, pick up our crosses daily, and follow Jesus in everything that we do. (Luke 9:23)  St. Michael Lutheran Church is committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ.  We are committed to providing the necessary training for all believers to follow Jesus in their daily lives.  Furthermore, we are committed to training followers of Jesus to help others come to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ and to follow Jesus daily.

 

St. Michael Lutheran Church gathers regularly for worship, music, learning, fellowship, and outreach.  We welcome any and all who desire to worship and serve the Triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -  in accordance with and under the authority of the Holy Scriptures, within a loving, supportive Christian community of faith.  We are firmly rooted in the Lutheran tradition and subscribe to the Unaltered Augsburg Confession.  And yet, we look forward to wherever God leads us, adopting whatever methods and ideas help us better proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and minister in His name, to the glory of God.

 

St. Michael Lutheran Church has served Ottawa Lake and surrounding communities since 1867.  We joyfully look forward to serving these same communities and the world beyond for many years to come.
