WORSHIP LIFE AT OUR SAVIOUR

 We gather faithfully in all kinds of weather to renew and to strengthen our faith and presence of God within this world.  WORSHIP is not to only 'feel good, nor a struggle between contemporary vs. traditional Gospel, but rather a blending of all strains of Christ's Church from over the centuries as well as today!

While we are a 'liturgical church', this doesn't enslave us to do anything contrary to God's Word. The heritage enriches our worship and presents the fullness of God's Word in reading and preaching. Liturgy serves us, we do not serve LITURGY!

Before you come to experience our worship, why not hear us on our weekly podcast at: www.wphm.net/podcast/oursaviour/

About Us

Mission Statement: Witness to all the life-giving love of Christ.

Our Saviour Lutheran Church is a Christian church in Port Huron, Michigan. A member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church In America (ELCA), we emphasize the relationship with God available through the Holy Spirit. Our view of God embraces his promise of steadfast love and mercy and enables us to live a life of bold trust and generous service.

The church was organized in 1920 when members from a local Lutheran congregation wanted worship services in English.


Since the church's beginnings, there have only been five pastors. Our current pastor, Charlie Martin, has been serving our community since July 2022. In addition to regular worship services, his sermons can be heard every Sunday via podcast.

Martin Luther, an influential figure in the Protestant Reformation, described the exuberant freedom of, "a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that believers would stake their lives on it a thousand times." He also wrote, "Oh, it is a living, busy, active, mighty thing, this faith. It is impossible not to be doing good things unceasingly." Join our welcoming and joyful community and grow and serve in the location where God has planted you.
