Browns Valley – “Reach Up, Reach Out, Reach In”

Veblen– Our purpose is to support and serve any and all people who desire God’s love in their lives.

Sisseton- We exist to glorify God in Jesus Christ through worship, education, ministry and mission.

The vision of all our congregations is to reach out to all of our communities to help support them with their daily needs.  We support missions locally and internationally.  Our women’s groups are very active in the community through hosting church dinners, luncheons, movies nights, as well as volunteer at the local care centers. Browns Valley provides church service quarterly at their local care center. Sisseton serves a local care center via the Sisseton Ministerial Association. Sisseton’s adult Bible study has grown with community members as well as congregational members taking part. All 3 churches host Sunday School and together lead one High school youth group and one Confirmation class, as well as Sisseton and Browns Valley hosting their own VBS in the summer months.

The churches are located in beautiful northeastern South Dakota and just across the

Minnesota border. This is a multicultural community on an open Native American

reservation with a growing Hispanic population. Known as the “Glacial Lakes” area, it

offers abundant outdoor activities and is rich in historical heritage. Sisseton is nestled at

the foot of the Coteau des Prairies Hills while Browns Valley rests at the “continental

divide” separating two of the major natural lakes of the area while Veblen boasts a fertile

agricultural landscape. The area is in the Central Flyway offering numerous outdoor

activities that include: bird watching, wildlife and scenic photography, fishing, hiking,

hunting, boating on many area lakes, swimming, rodeos, horse riding trails, snowmobiling, camping, golf courses, city parks and rec programs with numerous city and state parks. The Arts Council brings cultural enrichment and entertainment while the local museums, state and memorial parks

enhance the area history. Coteau Des Prairies Health Care Hospital and Clinics provide local health care along with Indian Health Services in Sisseton.  Agriculture, farming and ranching land surround the land around these church communities, but all are located within minutes of Interstate 29 and offer big cities amenities within 45 to 90 miles.
