GRAND MARAIS, MN — May 18, 2025 — On Sunday afternoon, members of Life in Christ Lutheran Church gathered with shovels and joy to break ground on a new church building that will serve the congregation and community for generations to come.
Framed by birch trees and standing before a wooden cross, the group posed for a commemorative photo as construction officially began on the site just off Highway 61. The new church will include a sanctuary, fellowship hall, kitchen, narthex, and space for future growth.
“This isn’t just about a building—it’s about Christ and His Church,” said Rev. Jonathan Watt. “We’re here to proclaim Jesus crucified and risen, and to serve the people of this community for generations to come.”
The project is fully funded through the generous support of members and friends of the congregation.
