They celebrate the Lord's Supper every Sunday "at a special service at 9:45," that is, a half hour before the service starts.
They celebrate it as a "reassurance that Jesus died for all our sins."

You know it's a good Sunday at church when you get to chest bump the Pastor before the benediction! Love my home church St. Paul's - Spls Muskego
New Here? / What to Expect
The Bridge is a new church starting on the St. Paul’s campus. As soon as you drive on to our campus, you’ll see parking lot attendants who will help you find the Trinity Café and Gym where The Bridge is located.
When you come to The Bridge, you will find a welcoming environment, hear messages that relate the Bible to your daily life, and enjoy music from The Bridge Band.
The atmosphere of The Bridge is casual. You’ll notice that our pastors wear jeans. We are serious about our faith, but try not to take ourselves too seriously. After all, we are far from perfect.
What about my kids?
Kids Club is our Sunday morning children’s programing for children from 3 years old through eighth grade. We also offer childcare (with a pager system to contact you if your child needs you) for infants up to Kids Club age. You’ll see the Kids Club check-in as you walk into the Trinity Café. Our goal is to provide children with a safe, fun environment to learn about Jesus’ love for them.
At the same time we welcome children into The Bridge service. If you need to take your child out of the service, you’ll be able to hear the singing and the message in our lobby.
You’ll see the Kids Club/Childcare check-in when you enter the building!
Want to learn more?
If you want to find out more about the Christian faith or meet our host pastor, stop by Starting Point. Here you can also learn about the other services that St. Paul’s congregation and school provide and how to become more involved in our congregation. Starting Point is a ten-minute gathering immediately after the service each weekend. Starting Point meets in the Fireside Room across the lobby from the auditorium. Ask a member of our host team for directions.

The Bridge is a new progression mission start on an older campus! It is part of St. Paul’s on-going effort to speak the unchanging truth of the Bible to today’s world whose language is constantly changing.
St. Paul’s Lutheran Church has been a part of the Muskego community since 1857. Initially the language of our worship was German to serve the German immigrants in our community. Gradually, a new worship language was offered – English!
In the last several decades, we have seen another change in “language.” Our traditional worship services speak well to individuals who want an organ leading them in a worship service that follows the pattern developed in the church over the centuries. About ten years ago we began our contemporary service at 11 am because the language of organ and liturgy was not the “native language” of many people in our community. It has become one of our largest attended serves.
As we recognized the need to expand our worship options, we recognized another “language” that may be more comfortable for still others in our community. The Bridge is more casual and less structured than the traditional or contemporary services already offered on our campus.
At St. Paul’s we welcome this diversity of worship styles and preferences. What unites us is our faith in a Savior that loves us, died for us on the cross, and rose again.
