About Central & East Freeborn Lutheran Parish

Central & East Freeborn Lutheran Parish is made up of two individual churches, who share one Pastor, located in Albert Lea, MN. Our beliefs are based on the Bible and centered on Jesus Christ. Our mission is very simple: to lead people to honor and glorify Jesus Christ. That means we’re not about a building or some complicated religious system, but about helping people from all backgrounds discover the joy that comes from knowing and serving Jesus Christ.

We invite you to come and check us out this weekend at one of our worship services. We know that going to a new church can be intimidating, so we try to do things in a way where you’ll feel welcome and not like an outsider. When you come, you can participate or just sit back and observe. You’ll discover a warm atmosphere, practical teaching from God's Word and lots of friendly people pursuing God together. Bring your family and they will love it too!

God made a promise in the Bible that if we seek after Him, we’ll find Him. You are a valued part of God’s creation and His deep desire is to be in a relationship with you. So come and join us as we pursue God together!

Faith

We invite you to come check us out this weekend at one of our worship services. We know that going to a new church can be confusing and intimidating, so we try to do things in a way where you’ll feel welcome. When you come, you can participate or just sit back and observe. Central Freeborn takes part in Communion on the first Sunday of every month, while East Freeborn participates in communion on the first and third Sunday of every month. All baptized Christians are welcome to the table.

Family

At Central & East Freeborn Lutheran Parish, we value family and we believe church should be a place for people of all ages. At times, we provide a children's sermon alongside our regular sermon, which provides an age-appropriate environment for kids to encounter Christ. Both churches have Sunday school classes at 9:30 am.  For more on the Sunday school programs, see the "Central" or "East" tabs above and click on "Ministries" and select "Children's Ministries".
