About Turtle River Ministry
Turtle River Ministry is a cooperative multi-congregation/multi-staff association of five rural or small town Evangelical Lutheran Church in America congregations in Northeastern North Dakota. We have joined together to meet mutual needs and to provide a witness to the unity we all share in Christ Jesus.
Although we are together in ministry each congregation is different and each serves a vital role in their communities and in TRM. The five congregations are Ascension in Emerado, ND; Faith in Inkster, ND; Ness in Mekinock, ND; Our Savior's in Larimore, ND and St. Paul's in Honeyford, ND.
We are currently served by a lead pastor, a trained lay support pastor and an intern under the Horizon Internship program through the ELCA.
