ANNOUNCEMENTS

Updated September 2024

  • Welcome to the West Prairie Lutheran Church website! We are a community made up of folks from the Lennox, Canton, Worthing, and Tea areas! The church building is located just a short drive west of the Canton exit off of I29. If you are looking to worship the triune God, grow in your faith, find a place of belonging, quilt, sing, or have great conversation, this is your place!

  • West Prairie Lutheran near Lennox, SD, and Bethany Lutheran in Hurley, SD are two congregations working together to effectively minister to their respective communities. They both fit into the larger church body of the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) and are part of the South Dakota Synod.

  • If you have any questions, or would like to reach out, please contact Pastor Shadoe Hanson either by email: westprairielutheran@gmail.com, or call at (605) 647-5923
