Lutheran Church of Our Saviour is a long-established Calgary Lutheran congregation with 59 years of continuous registration, but its 83.3% board turnover rate and a historical donation flow to a now-revoked charity warrant attention. Financially, the church operates on a roughly balanced budget with peer-normal reserves, though compensation costs and program spending both sit on the unfavorable side of peer medians.
Our Verdict: A well-established congregation with nearly six decades of history and healthy reserves, though donors should note that compensation consumes a larger share of revenue than most comparable churches, and the board's unusually high turnover deserves a direct question to leadership before giving.
