Our Savior Lutheran Church

Our Savior Lutheran Church is a religious congregation in the city of Stallbrook, first mentioned in Peri's Bliss. Part of the conservative Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, its pastor Martin Oldenberg and many of its members join the "Citizens Concerned" group mobilized to oppose the emergence of the Free Spirit Local Gathering. When Oldenberg is dismissed by the Synod leadership, it adversely affects Citizens Concerned, which is dealt a death blow by the arrest of Pastor Nate Roth from Shiloh Baptist Church. Our Savior sponsors Save Our Sisters, a ministry for people leaving the commercial sex industry led by Naomi Torkildsen, but in Stallbrook's atmosphere of de-facto decriminalization and the more successful work of the Jezebel Project, this effort has little success. Later, Our Savior's pastor Gerry Piper supports the formation of the North End Alliance for Truth in an attempt to block the birthing of a new Local Gathering in the city; the Alliance's efforts fail, and Piper is removed as pastor after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the death of sex worker Jay Koenig.
