About Us :

Is in a state of new development sharing the ministry of a full-time resident pastor with the Germfask and McMillan United Methodist Churches. The parsonage for the charge is located in Grand Marais. On a Sunday morning, the entire circuit is 91 miles.

Grand Marais is a lovely community of 350 - 400 year round residents. This number swells to about 1500 during the summer months. The community rests on the shore of the beautifully rugged Lake Superior, nestled in among the sand dunes and rocky shores and soaring pines. There is a small K-12 school system with 76 students. Found in the center of the community are a post office, medical center, township offices, grocery store, hardware, bank and community center. At the edge of town is the township campgrounds. Grand Marais also has many motel and cabin facilities. Dining is available at North Shore Restaurant, the Diner, the brewery, and the Sportsmans Bar. Our small community is home to four churches - Roman Catholic, ELCA Lutheran, Mennonite, and our United Methodist. We offer many ecumenical activities from Lent and Advent services to church in the campground pavilion during the summer.

Our area is a year round playground. The harbor is home to the kayak symposium and the ski-plane fly in as well as a wonderful place for the many sailboats in the community. During the winter, the community is besieged with snowmobiles. We can also boast that the dogsled races come to Grand Marais in February.

It is often said that Grand Marais is at the end of the "Road to nowhere". Twenty-five miles north of M28, the road to Grand Marais (M77) has nothing on it except a few houses, many deer, and a long line of telephone poles.

Our church is open to all. We have affiliate and associate members from among our summer people. We get many visitors from the campground. And always, we have a potluck luncheon after the service.
