Proclaiming the Living Word and Serving the Living God
Who We Are
Living Word Free Lutheran Church is a Bible-believing, evangelical Lutheran church in Sioux Falls, near Harrisburg. Started as a church plant from our sister congregation Abiding Savior in 2002, we continue to live out our mission of proclaiming the Living Word and serving the Living God in all that we do.
Our culture is driven by our vision of equipping the saints for the work of service and seeking salvation for our fellow man. Our worship services are Christ-centered and content-driven. We offer several opportunities for Christian education and ways to get involved in ministry within the church.

Our Mission & Vision
We believe that God’s Word is living and active (Hebrews 4:12) and the primary means by which He communicates with us today. As well, Jesus, the Word made flesh that dwelt among us (John 1), came to earth and was crucified but did not remain dead. He is both the Living Word and the Living God.
Without vision that puts some “feet” on the mission of the church, it could be difficult to understand what proclaiming the Living Word and serving the Living God looks like. Our vision looks like this:
dedicated to:
– equipping people to grow in Christ and
– seeking salvation for our fellow man.
