Our Saviors Lutheran Church, Texas, United States
5.0 (7 reviews) Spent < 1 hour Ranking #4 in Clifton Historic Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
Drive the scenic drive on CR 4145 to FM 219! Two great churches to see! The Rock Church and Our Saviors Lutheran.
Amazed at the Norwegian history located between Cranfills Gap and Clifton. Really enjoyed driving the scenic drive CR 4145 and the Cleng Peerson Memorial Highway (FM 219). We began in Cranfills Gap (great Lutheran church there too!). At the end of the county road lies Our Saviors Lutheran Church. Very nice sanctuary! Wish I had more time to explore the cemetery on site as this church has lots of history. A neat rock fence also bounds one side. If visiting, worth your time. Must be an amazing church to worship in too.

A beautiful rural church highlighting the Norwegian heritage of this area
It was recommended that in order to get a feeling for the Norwegian culture of this part of Bosque County, we should drive out into the country near Clifton. This church, in a lovely setting, with its striking interior, was a highlight of the day.

Heart of the Norse Community
We enjoyed driving the backroads from Clifton to see this church and cemetery. The scenery was hilly and stunning especially with dark clouds and rain all around us! The church was way out in the countryside yet when we arrived the church was open. The church is Norwegian in origin and was established in 1869. It has some stained glass windows and is not very ornate. There is a cemetery there as well where Norwegian pioneer Cleng Peerson is buried. Sadly a storm arrived and hindered us from walking around the cemetery.
