Saint Paul’s Eastside since 1889. We have been in our

present location since 1959.

Gustavus Adolphus Lutheran Church today: 

A GAteway of Faith

As part of its history, Gustavus Adolphus Lutheran Church

has served as a gateway of faith to the local community –

beginning with its foundations in the Swedish Lutheran

community, and then supporting and ministering to the

numerous waves immigrant populations that have populated

the East Side of Saint Paul in the years following.

Today that work includes an on campus food shelf and job training, a weekly community meal program, supporting community partnerships that strengthen our community, and much more.
