Connect at Risen Savior

Here at Risen Savior we offer something for everyone. Whether you prefer to worship the Lord in a Traditional Worship setting with organ music, a choir and the Pastors and Elders attired in robes, or if you prefer to worship in a contemporary worship environment with casual attire and a praise band…. we offer you the opportunity to choose your preferred worship.

Families enjoy utilizing out many programs and services that include the School that serves children from ages two through seven, as well as our Nursery, Cry Room, Kids Talk, Sunday School, Youth Group, Spring Festival, Vacation Bible School, Confirmation Classes, Family Gatherings and Family Counseling Services.

A large number of our adult members meet in the Fellowship Hall between the first and second services on Sunday for coffee, rolls and the Adult Forum.

Caring for others is a way of life at Risen Savior. We serve the senior community with The Perfect Place Adult Day Care Center that provides loving care for older adults. We also deliver meals on wheels, conduct blood drives, collect food and clothing for the needy, and make home and hospital visits to those who are ill or infirmed. Our high school students serve others on their annual mission trip.

And we have fun! We worship together and work together on committees and boards. We also attend social events … from the Fall Picnic or the Golf.

Risen Savior Church History

The history of Risen Savior Lutheran Church began over twenty years ago when thirteen people attended a worship service at the home of herb and Lil Ebert. In 1987, services were moved to All Faiths Chapel in Sun Lakes.

In March of 1992, seventy-one people attended a congregational meeting where a Call Committee was established. By July, the congregation was formerly organized as the Sun Lakes Mission and voted to call Rev. Harold Teuscher as their founding pastor. He was installed on October 11, 1992. The congregation grew to 143 by the end of the year.

In December of 1998, after days of prayer, study and deliberation, the congregation which had grown to over 350 members, adopted a 20-year Long Range Master Plan that featured Risen Savior Lutheran Church on Alma School Road. They hired an architect and general contractor and within two years built this beautiful church, fellowship hall, classrooms and offices.

The vision and trust in God that so many had shared for so long, became a reality in April 2001, when, with God’s gracious blessings, Risen Savior opened its doors of this campus to the community. This beautiful new facility was dedicated on May 6, 2001. Today, about 1,200 members belong to risen Savior Lutheran Church.

In 2002, we opened the Risen Savior Lutheran Preschool with three classrooms, eighty students and a staff of six. Today the school serves ages two through fourth grade. We have grown from the three classrooms and eighty students in 2002 to sixteen classrooms, a computer lab and multi-purpose room and over three-hundred students.

Under the guidance of its Director, Linda Pauley, the school has become recognized throughout the community for its academic excellence taught in a Christian-based environment. The school currently serves children from ages two through nine. It is accredited by NAEYC, National Association for the Education of Young Children and NLSA, National Lutheran Schools Accreditation.
