Our Savior Lutheran Church
About Us
Our Savior is a Lutheran church that seeks to serve the southern suburbs of Birmingham, AL. With an emphasis on the word of God, relevant preaching, and outreach, our church has grown in size but our core beliefs haven't changed a bit. We focus all we do on God's Word, proclaiming forgiveness to our friends and neighbors.
Everything we do is a fruit of our faith. God sent his son Jesus to take away our sins and remove our guilt forever, so it's only natural that we serve him out of thanks. Our Savior Lutheran seeks to serve God as we serve our community.
But our local church has broader reach than just Shelby and Jefferson counties. Through our partnership with our national church body, we help spread God's kingdom throughout the world.
