About Us:

In 1893 a group of Swedish immigrants gathered to form a Swedish Lutheran congregation.  For over 115 years people have worshipped the Lord on top of this hill on the North Dakota prairie.  Over the years, Sunne has become a congregation with members of many ethnic backgrounds, religious denominations and worship traditions.  All those who proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are welcome to become members of Sunne.

Back in 1517 a German Roman Catholic priest by the name of Martin Luther tried to reform, or change, the Roman Catholic Church.  For his efforts he was kicked out of the church.  His followers were known as "protesters" or Protestants and laughingly referred to as "Lutherans."  Over the years the Lutheran Church and the Roman Catholic Church have changed in ways that make us somewhat similar in worship practice and thinking.
