The Church

The Lamberton Church of Christ is an independent Christ Centered, Bible believing fellowship located in beautiful downtown Lamberton, Minnesota. Our purpose is to know Him and make Him known. Clear systematic Bible preaching and teaching is our highest priority. We recognize that no other foundation will stand the test of time and eternity. Our fellowship has a small-town friendliness and feel. Come as you are but we hope you do not leave as you were. We strive to leave the imprint of Jesus upon all we meet. The Lamberton Church of Christ was born as a result of a series of tent revivals in the late teens and early 1920’s. The Lamberton Church of Christ shares a heritage with what is known as “The Restoration Movement.” Several phrases describe this mid-1800’s movement, such as “no creed but Christ, no book but the Bible” and “In essentials unity, non-essentials liberty, and all things charity.”
