OUR CHURCH: West Moe Lutheran Church offers a modern worship service in a historic setting. The church is rich with history and full of tradition. We hold true to our Lutheran heritage through word and sacrament, incorporat-

OUR HISTORY: West Moe Lutheran church was founded in 1867, in what is known as Moe Township of Douglas County. Originally the church was called Our Saviors Congregation of Holmes City. In 1872, the name was changed to Moe Congregation. The church building started construction in 1876 and was completed in 1889. Norwegian was the sole language for nearly 50 years. “We look forward to thanksgiving and anticipation to the years ahead, and to the promise of God’s presence among us, and his Blessing upon us, as we work and pray together.” Through the years this church has been richly blessed. Surely, the presence of God is in this place.
