Gloria Dei Lutheran Church

Beautiful architecture. Huge meeting spaces. Great for a wedding reception.

Great pastors all have a gift of preaching. Terrific programs to participate in, or just appreciate. Lots of kids ministry projects with terrific leaders there too. It's a great place for every age.

Regular visitor and hope to join soon. Beautiful building and caring pastoral staff. Music program amazes and gives me goosebumps. Maintains the traditions of Lutheran worship that make it Lutheran and still welcome ALL. Active, vibrant ministry that includes many children and youth, in addition to the young at heart.

What a surprise when the largest ELCA Lutheran Church we visited on moving to St. Paul also turned out to be the friendliest! After 3-1/2 years as members we find we are embraced by and involved with a community that turns outward to our neighbors effectively and works to make the outreach more inclusive. There is enough talented volunteer leadership so that new folks can get involved without worrying about being pressured to go beyond what is good for them. Amazing children, family and youth involvement, skilled and engaging pastoral and program staff, thoughtful programming for folks 55+, feeling of collaboration in all levels of involvement.
