Welcome!
Augustana Lutheran Church of Andover was built in the 1860’s when the faithful congregation of Swedish immigrants quickly outgrew the nearby Jenny Lind Chapel. We are extremely proud of our ‘Cathedral on the Prairie’. Please explore our website to learn more. Then come and join us to experience first-hand the Church and the members who serve here.
