About First Lutheran Church, Fargo, North Dakota
First Lutheran Church, located on Broadway in Downtown Fargo, is a warm, inviting, community-connected, Christ-centered, discipleship-based congregation that has been serving the Fargo area for over 135 years. We are a member of the Eastern North Dakota Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
Our Beliefs as ELCA Lutherans
The ELCA is a community of faith that shares a passion for making positive changes in the world. Our faith is built around a strong belief in God as made known to us in Jesus Christ. Through worship, service, and education, we practice our faith, grow our relationship with God and experience God's grace in our lives. To see what we believe as ELCA Lutherans, please visit the ELCA web site by clicking on this link… http://www.elca.org/What-We-Believe.aspx. In part, our faith tradition is based on a life-transforming story. The ELCA’s story is both ancient and timely. It’s a story of a powerful and patient God who has boundless love for all people of the world, who brings justice for the oppressed. It’s a story of Jesus Christ, changing lives. It’s a story that brings comfort and strength to people who today live in modern, often unsettling times. Learn more about our beliefs—and become a part of our story.
Worship Services
First Lutheran Church offers five convenient, diverse Sunday morning worship services. Holy Communion is served as part of our worship on the first Sunday of each month and on all other Sundays in our beautiful chapel following each of the five services. We also offer an adult-staffed nursery on Sunday mornings and for special events during the week.
For service times, descriptions, an open invitation for communion as well as directions and maps, please visit our Worship page.
