Welcome Pastor Benson
God is good and we are overjoyed that Pastor Steven Benson has joined us in ministry at Mt Olive and Concordia Lutheran churches. Our prayers go to our brothers and sisters in Christ at his former church Zion Lutheran in Brainerd, MN through this transition.
We celebrated on July 7 as Pastor Benson was installed.

Labors of Love
“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.
And we ought to lay down our lives for one another.” – 1 Jn. 3:16
Through our “Labors of Love” ministry we are looking to do two things: (1) love our neighbors-in-need in tangible and meaningful ways, and (2) mobilize the people in our neighborhoods in loving their neighbors in meaningful and tangible ways. In other words, we want to partner with our neighbors in Rockford, Loves Park, and Machesney Park in loving their neighbors and our neighbors. If you would like assistance, please click here to complete and submit the labor request. If you have a pressing immediate need for assistance, please call the church office: 815-399-3171.
In the months with FIVE Saturdays on the fifth Saturday of the month (For 2025: August 30th and Nov. 29th) we are asking the members of Mt. Olive and Concordia Lutheran Churches, and others living in our neighborhoods to make yourselves available to respond to our/your neighbors’ requests for labor assistance. To become a “Labor of Love Volunteer” please complete the volunteer application form by clicking here.
