Who We Are

We are ST. PAUL’S… all MISSIONARIES.

Our church is named after the apostle Paul, one of the greatest missionaries in the Christian church. Following his example, we live as missionaries to the individuals God has placed in our lives. With a simple invitation to come and see, we bring others to Jesus one by one.

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one…Jesus of Nazareth…Come and see!” John 1:45-46

We are EVANGELICAL… all about the GOSPEL.

The gospel changes everything. This good news of forgiveness through Jesus is what brings us into God’s family, what gives us peace in this life, and what assures us of the life to come. We also live this gospel. Reality in a sinful world means that we will hurt others and get hurt by others, even within our church. But, as Jesus has freely forgiven us, we now freely forgive and are forgiven by each other.

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. Romans 1:16

We are LUTHERAN… all about THE WORD.

We stand on Scripture alone, which informs us that we are saved by grace alone through faith alone. This Word shapes all that we believe, teach, and do. We confidently and boldly proclaim the Word of God in all its truth and purity.

Grass withers, flowers fade, but the Word of our God endures forever. Isaiah 40:8

We are CHURCH… all a FAMILY OF BELIEVERS.

Our church is filled with individuals from different generations, backgrounds, and experiences. Yet, like a family, we are united and walk together in faith. We love, care for, and support each other, always putting others before ourselves.

Make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being united in spirit, and having one mind. ?Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty conceit, but in humility consider one another better than yourselves. Philippians 2:2-3


 
Walking Together

We are a part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). In Greek, word "synod" means "walking together." By “walking together” with other like-minded Lutheran congregations, we are able to do joint work we could do on our own.  We pool our resources to do mission work, to train young people to serve in public ministry, and to put out publications such as hymnals and Bible studies. Above all, we find encouragement in knowing there are Christians throughout the world who share a common faith with us.
