The people of Memorial Lutheran Church have been gathering by the river and proclaiming the love of Jesus Christ to the St. Croix Valley since 1882. What started as a group of Swedish immigrants has grown into a diverse community of caring individuals.

While there have been many changes over the last century, one thing remains the same:  our commitment to do God’s work for God’s people.
