Remember the Mother Church Kicked Out of WELS and Stolen Back?
WELS Is Thanking God


C

We thank and praise God, that He has blessed the ministry at Historic St. John's Lutheran Church on the Hillside for 171 years! On this day in 1848, their congregation was officially formed as the “evangelische lutherische St. Johanneskirche.”
Our Triune God has provided for them in times of abundance and times of need.
We thank our heavenly Father, that He has provided them with pastors faithful to His Word; that He has provided them with a beautiful worship space, which silently proclaims the Gospel when we fail to; that He has provided them with loving, caring, and active brothers and sisters who are part of the St. John’s family as well as many friends who support their ministry.
We trust that our Triune God will continue to provide for them as they enter another year of faithfully preaching Law and Gospel to the Hillside neighborhood, downtown Milwaukee, and to their members and friends across all of southeastern Wisconsin.
Soli Deo gloria!
