OUR CHURCH
St. Luke's holds worship services every Sunday at 9:00 A.M. and Monday at 7:00 P.M. From September through May, we offer Adult Bible Class and Sunday School at 10:15 A.M. In addition to our regular services, we also gather for special worship throughout the year, including New Year's Eve, Ash Wednesday, five mid-week Lenten services, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.
WHO WE ARE
St. Luke's cares for 515 souls, with 478 being communicant members. In 2024, Sunday morning worship saw an average attendance of 130 people. We are part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), a fellowship of approximately 400,000 Bible-believing Christians across the United States, Canada, and beyond.
​
Bible Information Courses are available as needed for non-members interested in learning about our beliefs and teachings at St. Luke's. These courses come with no obligation to join the church afterward. Members are welcome to attend or request a refresher course. Pastor Arnold is flexible in scheduling a time that works for you.
​
Each summer, we host Vacation Bible School (VBS), which complements our Sunday School program. Enrollment is open to both members and non-members of St. Luke's.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We cannot get to Heaven by our own efforts.
God demands that we be perfect.
So then, be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:48)
We are all sinners.
Because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)
We deserve both physical death and eternal death in Hell.
For the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23a)
God has provided a way for us to get to Heaven.
God the Father sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to bear the punishment that we deserve.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
By faith we believe in Jesus as our Savior from sin.
Indeed, it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
We receive the gift of faith through the Word of God.
So then, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message comes through the word of Christ. (Romans 10:17)
Our lives have meaning because of God's love for us.
Now we can live life to its fullest.
I [Jesus] came that they may have life and have it abundantly. (John 10:10)
God will hear and answer our prayers.
Call on me in the day of distress. I will deliver you, and you will honor me. (Psalm 50:15)
Now we can live for God and do good works to his glory.
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared in advance so that we would walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10)
The Bible is the Word of God and the only source of spiritual life.
The Bible is the unchanging and error-free Word of God.
All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, well equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
The Bible centers on Jesus Christ.
But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. (John 20:31)
The Bible is our guide in everything we think, say, and do.
Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. (Psalm 119:105)
