Hmong Central on Twin Cities Daily Planet
Minnesota, Land of Lutherans, has welcomed Hmong Lutherans as part of its religious community. Hmong Central Lutheran Church (at 301 Fuller Ave, in the Frogtown neighborhood of St. Paul) is the largest Hmong Lutheran congregation in the world, with 483 members, according to its pastor, William Siong. The Hmong Lutheran Church, which recently moved away from its location at Thomas and Snelling in St. Paul was a part of the Missouri Lutheran synod. Two other churches -- Immanuel Hmong Lutheran Church (765 Margaret Street, St. Paul) and First Hmong Evangelical Lutheran Church (Woodbury)-- are listed as churches of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran synod. (The address of the Woodbury church could not be confirmed.) In addition to specifically Hmong Lutheran churches, some other Lutheran churches have Hmong-language services and substantial numbers of Hmong members.
