LUTHERAN CHURCH OF THE REFORMATION
2544 Highway 100 So.

The Lutheran Church of the Reformation began in November 1954 when a group of people interested in establishing an Augustana Lutheran church in the Park met. The denomination was formed in 1924 as the Augustana Congregation under Dr. P.A. Mattson. In June 1956 the Board of American Missions purchased 3.8 acres of land at 2544 Highway 100 So. On March 10, 1957, the first service was held at the St. Louis Park Theater. The congregation was formally organized on June 16, 1957, with a membership of 205. Rev. Herman E. Soderberg served as the first pastor, starting in August 1957. The $70,000 building, designed by Hammel and Green, was dedicated on January 4, 1959. In 1961, membership topped 500. In 1962, the Augustana Lutheran Church merged with three other Lutheran bodies.
