WELCOME
Two ELCA Lutheran churches working together to serve the Kindred and Davenport North Dakota communities.
Welcome to the Norman Davenport Lutheran Parish, a partnership created in 1966. The original parish included five congregations including First Lutheran Church of Fargo. A later realignment in 1899, officially known as the Norman Parish, included Christiania, St. John's and Norman. This arrangement prevailed for 67 years until St. John's realigned with Horace and Norman welcomed Davenport instead.
NORMAN LUTHERAN
Norman Lutheran Church is nestled along the Sheyenne river in Kindred, North Dakota. It is the oldest continually operating congregation in the state of North Dakota celebrating 150 years in 2022.
PARISH YOUTH
Norman and Davenport churches offer Sunday School during worship, joint confirmation class on Wednesday evenings during the school year, and a joint youth group.
CONNECT & SERVE
Connect & Serve is the serving arm of the Norman Lutheran Church. It's designed for families to grow and serve together on Sunday mornings through the worship service or other special events such as funerals, church dinners, coffee hour and sleigh rides.
DAVENPORT LUTHERAN
Davenport Lutheran Church is located in the heart of the city of Davenport, North Dakota. The congregation celebrated 125 years in 2021.
NORMAN FOUNDATION
The Foundation was created in 2022 using proceeds from the sale of the Norman Lutheran Church parsonage. Those funds were invested and will continue to grow and allow us to spread the word of God into our community through a grant giving process.
