HistoryFaithful Savior Ministries (Lutheran Church) is the product of the 2008 merger of Faith Lutheran Church (AALC) and Our Savior Lutheran Church (LCMS). Faith Lutheran had its beginnings in 1930 through the old American Lutheran Church; her first pastor was the Rev. Dr. Walter E. Tressel. For nearly 80 years Faith Lutheran was located on the corner of Northeast Stanton St. and 62nd Ave., just a block off of Sandy Boulevard. Our Savior Lutheran Church held its first service on Sunday December 7, 1941 (Pearl Harbor Day). Until 1961 Our Savior worshiped in a small chapel near the Grotto, about two miles to the west of our present facility. Our Savior's first full-time pastor was the Rev. Robert C. Fenning who served from 1942-1945. In 1962 Our Savior congregation dedicated the facility that now houses Faithful Savior Ministries. In January of 2008 the two congregations began worshiping together as one. The inaugural service for the new congregation was held on February 10, 2008.SpecialtiesGrace alone: God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against him, and do not deserve his love. He sent Jesus, his Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly. Faith alone: By his suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through him. Scripture alone: The Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word in which he reveals his Law and his Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine.
