Our History

Since the early 1930s, people have gathered in Sac City, Iowa at St. Paul’s around the purely preached Gospel and the rightly administered sacraments. Our church came out of the need for families in Sac City to hear the Word of God and thanks be to God that Word has continued to go forth for generations. God truly has been good, loving and faithful for generations, and promises to be faithful to every future generation through Christ. Our history is a testimony to God’s faithfulness in Christ and His continual provision for all our needs of body and soul.
