"Go and make disciples of all nations..." Matthew 28:19

We welcome you to share the joy of knowing our Lord, through worship and hearing about God's plan of salvation for all through Christ Jesus. Here, you will be a part of a loving family dedicated to reaching out to all in need of care and healing. Join us as we, by our example, inspire others to love and serve Him.  In addition to regular worship services, St. Andrew's offers Sunday School for children, Bible studies for teens and adults, and numerous activities and organizations within.

The congregation of St. Andrew's Lutheran Church was organized by eleven communicants on June 22, 1947. St. Andrew's Lutheran Church is a member of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS)., the third largest Lutheran church body in America, which began in Milwaukee in 1850.  It is our prayer that the Lord will continue to bless our congregation as he has for over 60 years. Through the years, there has been the blessed opportunity to testify to the truth of the Gospel and to share this truth with all who have come and gone over the years.  All are welcome at St. Andrew's, where we are all individuals that share a common faith in the Savior and who come together to worship and serve him.

The children of the congregation and in the community have been drawn closer to the Savior through Sunday School, Christian Day School, and Summer Vacation Bible School.

THIS WE BELIEVE

For those unfamiliar with our basic beliefs, WELS has prepared a document titled "This We Believe" that will be useful in understanding concepts such as sin and grace, the Triune God, and the deity of Christ.  Read this document here.

A Word from the Pastor:

In the past few years some major changes have been made in the Sanctuary. A new Rogers organ was installed and put in the front of the church. Speakers are located in the ceiling. The old windows on the east and west sides of the church were replaced with new stained glass pictures which tell the story of God's love. At the time of the window dedication some members of the church indicated that they could remember when the cornerstone was laid in 1955 and our sanctuary was built and dedicated.

Over fifty years have passed and thousands of worship services have been held at St. Andrew's. Although faces have changed over the years and some remodeling has taken place, there are some things that remain constant. The Scripture is read each service, the Gospel message of Christ crucified and risen for our forgiveness, peace and salvation is proclaimed, and God's people at St. Andrew's come to worship their Lord. The Lord has always been present among us with His blessings. He tells us, "I am with you always." (Matthew 28:20) We can count on Him to be with us, guide us, and bless us in the future. So no matter what changes take place in the coming years, we have the assurance that we are always secure in the arms of our loving Lord.

Rev. Martin Schwartz
Pastor at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church
