Roseville Lutheran Church

What Roseville Lutheran Church does

Roseville Lutheran Church (RLC) is an ELCA-affiliated nonprofit Lutheran congregation founded in 1942, headquartered at 1215 Roselawn Ave. West in Roseville, Minnesota. The church serves individuals and families across the Twin Cities metro area, operating two Sunday worship services at 9:00 am and 10:30 am in traditional, contemplative, and praise-and-worship styles, and delivering age-segmented ministry programs for children, youth, young adults, and adults. It is led by a staff of 21, including identifying pastor Kent Claussen Gubrud, and is governed via congregational council with denominational oversight from the St. Paul Area Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

RLC distributes its worship and ministry content through three parallel channels: in-person services, online live-streaming via its website, and a cable-TV broadcast partnership with NineNorth Channel 19 (Comcast/Xfinity) that reaches nine communities — Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Mounds View, New Brighton, North Oaks, Roseville, and St. Anthony. Underlying technology is provided by standard third-party SaaS rather than proprietary infrastructure: ShelbyNext (Shelby Systems) handles church management, online giving ('My Offering'), event signup, and volunteer coordination; Constant Contact manages the weekly email newsletter; and a dedicated streaming pipeline supports live and on-demand worship. Sermon audio archives are maintained from 2016 to present, organized by preacher, series, category, and date.

RLC's revenue model is donation-based and consists of four streams: tithes and offerings (one-time and digital), a monthly recurring Sustainer Program, an Annual Appeal campaign, and a long-term Endowment Fund. There is no pricing for worship services or ministry programs; giving is voluntary. The church operates with no parent company, no subsidiaries, no external institutional ownership, and no disclosed funding rounds. As of 2026, RLC is undertaking a constitutional and bylaw amendment review process requiring congregational vote and ELCA synod approval, signaling a governance modernization cycle.
