Ministries

Worship

Ministry at Our Savior’s begins with worship, when we gather together in order to hear the Word of God and Teaching the Faithgrow in our relationship with Jesus.  Worship at Our Savior’s is a celebration each and every weekend. It is the center of life together as God’s people. Through Word and Sacrament, songs, hymns and practical relevant messages from the pulpit, we receive reassurance of God’s love in our lives. We encourage people to worship at Our Savior’s on a regular basis. Your presence at worship is a gift you provide to all the others who worship.

Small Groups

Our Savior’s is a large congregation.  We worship over 500 people on average between our four services.  In order to minister to one another and grow in faith small groups are essential to who we are at Our Savior’s.  In small groups we study the word of God, celebrate fellowship, serve the community and one another.

Children and Youth Ministry

We are dedicated to helping our young people grow in faith.  Kira Anderson is our director of Children’s Ministry and Brad Hutchison directs our youth group.  We have year-round activities for children and youth to be a part of.  Mission trips, Christmas plays, retreats and much more are components of our children and youth programs.

Family Ministry

We believe that in order to raise kids in the faith we need to empower parents to be the first teachers of the faith to their kids.  Parents are primary influence on their children in most areas of their lives including faith.  Our FAITH Street family worship service brings families together in worship, our stepping stone ministry also unites parents and children in learning and sharing together in important faith-full events in the church.  This year we are also inviting our parents to come to classes with their children from pre-school through eight grade and discover ways to make faith a part of the home.

Christ Through Hands Ministry

Faribault is the home of the Minnesota Academy of the Deaf and the Minnesota Academy of the Blind.  We are blessed to have a gifted individual who interprets our 8:30 am worship service for people who are deaf.  We also do have our worship bulletins available in braille upon request.  Joyce Atchison Bouley is the director Christ Through Hands which is a non-profit ministry that serves people who are blind and deaf.   Please inquire at our church office if you desire more information about the services available with Christ Through Hands.
