Redeemer Lutheran Church

Redeemer Lutheran Church was chartered as a “mission church” in June of 1909, reaching out to the surrounding neighborhoods of Harrision and Bryn Mawr. The congregation was soon able to support itself enough to purchase an older church building, but after 20 years of fast growth was able to build the beautiful church now standing at the corner of Glenwood and Logan in north Minneapolis. The community was primarily Scandinavian working people eager to find a church home. The congregation grew steadily, probably reaching its peak attendance in the mid– to late-60’s.

After many of the original members had passed on and their children had married and moved on, many of the once single-owner homes were subdivided or torn down creating a more transient community than the stable one during the church’s growth. Redeemer’s congregation declined, but the members who remained agreed that the community needed a strong church presence and opened its doors to the whole community as a “Beacon of Hope”. With this new more transient membership, Redeemer returned to the status of a mission church.

Zion is one of several mission partners that have a connection with Redeemer.
