About Us
Welcome to Our Saviour’s/Fahlun Lutheran Parish.
We primarily serve our LORD in our homes and our workplaces as we see God in Christ active around us. Then, on Sunday (typically at 9:00 am at Our Saviour’s or 10:30 at Fahlun), we then gather together as a body to hear God’s Word through the proclamation of the forgiveness of sins and encourage one another through prayer.
On the first and third Sunday of the month, we serve Holy Communion where we welcome all baptized believers to the Table for communion.
As part of worship, we also have Sunday school at each congregation. We do have Confirmation each Wednesday at 7pm at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church.
We also have an active Women of the Word (WOW) at both churches.
Finally, we support a variety of missions to include Douglas County Food Shelf Love INC of Douglas County Lakes Area, and many others.
Join us this Sunday morning either 9:00 am at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church or 10:30 am at Fahlun Lutheran Church.
Our Pastor
Pastor Jeremy Pedersen is honored to have served Our Saviour’s and Fahlun Lutheran Church since September 1, 2012. He comes from a farm in southwest Iowa. After attending Wartburg College in northeast Iowa, he volunteered at a church camp in England between August 2006 and July 2007.
After this experience in England, he attended Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN graduating in 2011. During this time, he also served a congregation in Osceola, Nebraska. Then, ordained in February 2011, he first served in Kuwait as a Minnesota National Guard Battalion Chaplain in Kuwait.
After finishing this full-time tour in May 2012, he started serving Our Saviour’s and Fahlun Lutheran Churches on September 1, 2012.
On September 1, 2019, Pastor Nate Hanson served as interim while Pastor Jeremy returned to Kuwait to serve with the Minnesota National Guard in support of the 34th Infantry Division.
In January 2024, Pastor Jeremy mobilized again back to Kuwait to serve with the Minnesota National Guard, returning in December 2024. During that time, our parish was served by pulpit supply and members who serve as the hands and feet of Christ.
Pastor Jeremy now continues to serve Our Saviour’s and Fahlun Lutheran Churches while continuing to serve part-time as a senior command chaplain for the 34th Infantry Division of the Minnesota National Guard.
