About Us
Mighty Fortress is a confessional congregation of Lutheran Christians located in Seward, Nebraska, in full fellowship with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Our pastor is the Rev. Dr. Daniel K. Schroeder.
We are located on Highway 15, cater-corner from the Seward Civic Center at 252 North 6th Street , which is conveniently situated on the corner of Bradford Street, just three blocks north of Main Street (U. S. Highway 34). Our facility is also in close proximity of Concordia University. We have ample parking on the south side of the building, and directly across the street at the Seward Civic Center.
We welcome you to come and visit us anytime. We know that you'll enjoy our casual atmosphere, our friendly folks, our traditional hymns and worship, and our sound Biblicly-based/Christ-centered preaching and teaching. We would also like you to consider making Mighty Fortress your church home, especially if you do not have a church home of your own. We know you'll feel right at home with us!
