The Evangelical Free Church of America is an association of some 1,500 autonomous churches united by a mutual commitment to serve our Lord Jesus Christ with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and obedience to the Word of God. We are committed to cooperate with one another in ministry and fellowship as we seek to fulfill the Great Commission which Christ has entrusted to His Church. The growing ministry of the EFCA currently extends to some 45 countries of the world.

What Does "Evangelical" Mean?
The term Evangelical refers to our commitment to the proclamation of the Gospel and to the authority of Scriptures as being inerrant in the original writings and the only safe and sufficient guide to faith and practice.

What Does "Free" Mean?
The term Free refers to our form of church government as being congregational. Evangelical Free Churches depend upon the active participation of lay people in the decisions and directions of the church.

What Does "Lamson" Mean?
At some time in the late 1800's the ministry of the gospel began to become active in the area of the town of Lamson, Minnesota. Services were held in homes and conducted by able leaders in the community or by visiting ministers. Several churches were organized at this time. One of those churches was incorporated on February 4, 1908 as the Swedish Free Church of Lamson.

In 1950 the Norwegian-Danish Free Churches joined with the Swedish Free Churches to form what is now the Evangelical Free Church of America.

As a result of this merger the Swedish Free Church of Lamson changed its name to Lamson Evangelical Free Church. In September of 1988 the church moved into its new building in Dassel where many of its members resided. It is now known as Lamson Evangelical Free Church of Dassel.

Lamson Evangelical Free Church celebrated its 100th year anniversary in 2008.
