About Our Ministry<\/h2>\n\t\n\t\n\t<\/div>
<\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t

Originally called Main Street Living Northland, our weekly program has been airing continuously since early 2018. In September 2020, we changed our name to MSL Northland as we became an all local production. Each half hour program is a complete church service including liturgy, bible readings and hymns, along with a sermon delivered by an ordained pastor from one of the Missouri Synod Lutheran Churches in northeastern Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

Our Mission<\/h2>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t
Bringing Christ to the Northland<\/div>\n\t<\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t

The purpose of this corporation is to engage in a television and social media evangelistic ministry on behalf of Minnesota North District, Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. Our goal is to provide for those who cannot gather in a local congregation the opportunity to hear God\u2019s Word the same as if they worshiped in a local congregation that Sunday. God says His Word will not return empty. May it bless you who hear it.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>
