About Greasewood Finnish Apostolic Lutheran Church

Religion, Churches, Interesting Places, Other Churches

Greasewood Finnish Apostolic Lutheran Church is a historic pioneer church located five miles west of Adams, Oregon. It was built by volunteers on donated land in 1884 to serve the immigrant Finnish Laestadian community. Services were held in Finnish both for the immigrants and their children, whose mother tongue was also Finnish. After breakups within the Laestadian community, this church affiliated with the Apostolic Lutheran Church of America. Due to the remote location, preachers from surrounding areas as well as the American Midwest, and even as far away as Finland, were brought in to speak.
