The old St. Luke Lutheran church building on First Avenue in Goodhue has housed the congregation for the last one hundred and twenty-five years and now a new construction project in ready to begin. The decision was made to build new rather than remodel the existing building after seven years of discussion. The new site is located along County 6 boulevard and plans are to begin construction this summer.
Over $850,000 has been raised of the one million dollar building goal. Numerous local construction businesses have offered their services at low cost or free to help in the completion of this new church building.
The new building will increase the capacity of the church from one hundred to two-hundred and fifty people.
