Lutheran Leadership Conference 2026

On some cold January days, members from across our synod gathered in Chicago. Around 1,600 sisters and brothers in Christ attended the WELS National Conference on Lutheran Leadership, which was near the capacity for the location! Pastor Rothfuss, along with a third of the pastors in our synod attended this year. Of the total attendees, 56% were lay leaders, including Chuck. The Lutheran Leadership Conference was a great opportunity for us to walk together as a synod as we work to better serve out the mission of the Church. Attendees learned from each other through several keynote presentations and specialized breakout presentations.

The organizers have already started posting videos of the presentations from this year!

Christmas Celebration 2025

Join us as we celebrate our Savior’s birth! Throughout the ages, the Savior was promised and in love He came in the unlikeliest of places. He descended from the glorious throne of Heaven to be born in a stable.

On Christmas Eve we’ll have a lessons and carols candlelight service at 6:30pm.

On Christmas Day we will gather to celebrate with a Festival Service at 9am.

The earth in sure rotation
Will soon bring morning bright.
So run where God’s salvation
Glows in a stable’s light.
As old as sin’s perversion
Is mercy’s vast design:
God brings a new creation—
This child its seal and sign.
