ABOUT US
Our Savior Lives...
History
On November 10, 1926, our congregation was founded to serve the Lord as His Church. Our original building on Carpenter Road was out grown and in 1948 we dedicated our present building to God to serve him in this place. We ask for God's blessing on our place of worship and on His people at Our Savior. Thank you to all those who are now serving in the Lord's work here, and have served Him in the years past in His name and for His cause.

We’ve been a part of this neighborhood for over 80 years, and we will continue to be a part of Flint.

Beliefs
What We Believe...
Human reason tells us that we can save ourselves. But God’s Word truthfully tells us that our reason is wrong. God’s Word tells us that we are rebellious by nature. Rebellion is sin which angers God. God says, "Those things result in death. For the wages of sin is death!" (Romans 6:21b-23).
Only God can save us. To do so, God’s Son, Jesus Christ, came down from heaven and became a sinless human being. He died on Calvary’s cross. Because of this sacrifice, our heavenly Father declared the world forgiven. God’s Word tells us that Jesus is the only way to salvation and everlasting life. "These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name" (John 20:31).
How does a person receive Christ’s salvation? "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13). "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
Our Savior Lutheran offers instruction in basic Christian teachings through the study of Scripture. If you are interested in attending these classes, please contact our Pastor, or speak with one of our Lay Ministers.
