Bear River Lutheran Church is alive in the over one hundred year old tradition of faith-centered, spirit-filled Christians who gather in worship, learning, and fellowship.  This congregation is committed to sharing the Good News of Jesus in words and deeds.  People at Bear River Lutheran Church both care for each other and also express an active concern which reaches out to those in the area and people around the world.  The church bell continues to ring out across the countryside as it has since 1908 to call people to share worship of Word and Sacrament.  This is a welcoming community of Christian people from all walks of life.  A small white wood-frame church on highway #22 is overflowing with the warmth of love made real in Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord.  We celebrate our past, look with trust to the future, and live each day to the glory of God.  An invitation is extended to come and share the joy of being a follower of Jesus!

Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, make you complete in everything good so that you may do his will, working among us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever.  Amen
