United In Christ Lutheran Parish is a vibrant and welcoming community of believers located in the scenic town of Fertile in Polk County, Minnesota. Nestled amidst the rolling hills and picturesque lakes of the area, our parish has been a beacon of faith and fellowship for over a century.
With a rich history tracing back to our founding in the late 1800s, United In Christ Lutheran Parish has played an integral role in the spiritual and social fabric of Fertile and its surrounding communities. Our roots can be traced to the Scandinavian settlers who brought their Lutheran traditions with them as they forged a new life in the promising lands of Minnesota.
Throughout the years, our parish has witnessed countless generations of families coming together to worship, grow in faith, and support one another on their spiritual journeys. We are proud of our heritage and cherish the values that have guided us throughout the years – values such as love, compassion, inclusivity, and a deep commitment to serving God and our neighbor.
Today, United In Christ Lutheran Parish thrives as a close-knit and diverse community, open to all who seek to know God and live out their faith. Our membership includes people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life, creating a mosaic of perspectives and experiences that enriches our worship and fellowship.
The heart of our parish life is our worship services, where we gather as a community to lift our voices in praise and thanksgiving. Rooted in the Lutheran tradition, our worship incorporates both ancient and contemporary elements, providing a sacred space for encountering the divine, hearing God's word, and receiving the sacraments. The messages delivered by our dedicated pastoral team are grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ, calling us to love one another, seek justice, and care for our world.
Beyond worship, United In Christ Lutheran Parish offers a variety of ministries and programs designed to nurture spiritual growth, encourage fellowship, and lend a helping hand to those in need. From Bible studies and small groups to youth activities and community outreach, there is something for everyone to get involved in and experience the joy of serving alongside others in the name of Christ.
We are also committed to outreach and mission work, both locally and globally. Our parish members actively support organizations and causes that provide food, shelter, education, and health care to those who lack these necessities. Whether it is engaging in local food drives, supporting disaster relief efforts, or sponsoring missionaries abroad, we strive to be agents of God's love and compassion in the world.
United In Christ Lutheran Parish is more than just a church; it is a community of faith that celebrates the diversity of God's creation and embraces the call to be a force of positive influence and transformation in our world. If you are seeking a community where you can grow in your relationship with God, find companionship in fellow believers, and make a positive impact on the lives of others, we invite you to journey with us as we seek to live out our faith united in Christ.
