Our Story
Nurturing Faith

Jacob is an energetic 7th grader, excited to visit with everyone he meets.
Before coming to Dilworth Lutheran Church, Jacob attended a larger church where he did not know many people. Although he enjoyed some activities at this church, he wanted to be in a community closer to home.
Jacob and his mom tested out Dilworth Lutheran and instantly felt welcomed by all the friendly people.
“Pastor Elizabeth told a story about someone lifting another person up during our first visit,” he says. “Since joining Dilworth, I feel lifted up by the church, and especially Hannah. She is so optimistic and nice about everything.”
Jacob loves the way Dilworth nurtures his faith in big and small ways. “One of the best things I’ve done at Dilworth is going on a mission trip with Hannah to Duluth. I met so many other children and saw how I can make a difference. It was life changing.”
Jacob finds joy in the daily life of the church. He loves communion, singing in church, seeing his friends, and the FOOD! “I love when the ladies in the kitchen tell me to ‘eat up’ because they have the best treats.”
Jacob’s faith has grown at Dilworth Lutheran Church. He feels connected to many people and has found the community he longed for. He loves being part of Dilworth Lutheran’s community, and, of course, snagging some of those extra treats!
Your generosity to Dilworth helps create the welcoming and nurturing environment centered in Christ that Jacob finds here.

Our Story Weekly Reset for a Full Life Steve Vart

Our Story
Weekly Reset for a Full Life

Steve Varty owns a construction company for framing new home builds. He’s married and has two quickly growing boys. While he spends his days working in town, he tries getting outdoors in the woods or on a lake, hunting and fishing, as often as possible.
Steve grew up near Twin Valley and was active in church growing up. He spent his youth at church with grandparents. “Growing up, faith and family always went together,” Steve says.
In college, Steve had little church connection. Life was busy with work and school.
Once Steve got married, however, he knew that he wanted church to be the foundation of his new family’s life. When Steve and his family moved to Dilworth, they joined Dilworth Lutheran Church. Dilworth has been a place to grow with his family in faith.
“Dilworth Lutheran is similar to me to time in the boat and in the woods. It gives me an hour to sit, hear from God, and relax. I like thinking through Pastor Dan and Pastor Elizabeth’s sermons. After a stressful week, Dilworth brings me back to what is most important in my life: faith and family.”
Steve feels blessed to have found a church like Dilworth that allows him to share his faith with his family and community.

Our Story Bitter or Better: Choosing Better Becky

Our Story
Bitter or Better: Choosing Better

Becky is a single mom with two adorable girls.
She is the type of person that will brighten even
the worst day.
She grew up in a small- town church, the kind were everyone knows everyone. She remembers being referred to as “Her mother’s daughter.” Becky didn’t really feel appreciated as her own person. She felt unwelcomed when she overheard older members shaming current moms.
At 35, Becky was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. This was a very difficult time. Her diagnosis sent her on a journey to find her place in the world. She set out to find a new church home that would support her and recognize her for her many gifts.
After telling herself to not pick the first church she visited, she did just that. Coming to Dilworth Lutheran she felt so welcomed. Pastor Elizabeth remembered her name after only meeting her once. The feeling of being noticed as someone special allowed her to find a new place in the world. Dilworth gave her the opportunity to have her own identity.
Today, you will find Becky dancing in the grocery store isles or teaching Sunday School at Dilworth. She remember being asked a number of times after her diagnosis, “Aren’t you mad at God for letting this happen to you?”
“You can choose to be bitter or you can choose to be better,” she would reply. “I choose to be better.”
Becky feels blessed to have found a faith home in Dilworth that not only recognizes her as her own person, but that also supports her and her daughters in all that life offers.
