Our Ministers:
Pastor Brad Putnam joined Augustana in 2016 and is looking forward to serving at Augustana with both weekly services and weekly Bible studies.

Pastor Victor Nelson returned to Augustana in 1989 for his second term.  While he is retired from weekly services with Augustana, he is still available for home and hospital visits.  

Our Church:
This congregation is Biblical, and believes and confesses that the Bible, comprised of the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God. The Bible is the uniquely authoritative, infallible, and inerrant revelation of God to mankind. It alone provides a completely adequate foundation for Christian doctrine and practice. No true doctrine or proper behavior conflicts with a simple, clear reading of the Bible.


Mission Statement:
The purposes of this affiliation include mutual voluntary fellowship, support, guidance, and accountability.
