VBS 2026
Ministry Milestone: 5th Anniversary of the Ordination and Installation of Pastor Rothfuss
On Sunday, July 19th we celebrated the 5th anniversary of Pastor Caleb Rothfuss being ordained into the public ministry and installed as a Pastor here. Thank you Pastor for working with us, in service to the Lord these past 5 years! Thank you for your 314 sermons, encouraging us in the Word! Thank you for pointing us not to earthly things, but to Christ! As a church family we said a special prayer for Pastor, we signed a card for Pastor, we collected a free will offering that we gifted him, and we gave him a certificate and cross to mark the occasion. This is a ministry milestone that we want to celebrate because it has been filled with many blessings for us, and for the Church.
Outdoor Summer Worship
“The Greatest Sermon Ever Told”, with a theme like that, you know you need to be here Tuesday June 16th at 6pm. We are having the first of 3 outdoor services this summer. The series theme is “The Greatest Sermon Ever Told” and will focus on parts of the Sermon on the Mount. This Tuesday’s theme is “Love for Enemies. The next services will be on July 21st and August 18th. These services will be a casual, relaxed worship opportunity and will be completely different than the Sunday services.

Thank You Dave!
On May 17, 2026, the church recognized and thanked Dave for his tireless work for the church. We especially thanked him for all his effort with the Sunday School these past years. We have seen the smiles of the kids as they run to their parents after Sunday School and excitedly tell their parents (or anyone around) what they did and what they learned. Thank you Dave!!!
Ascension 2026
Thank you to those who joined us for our special Ascension service this year! On May 14, 2026 we hosted the joint Ascension service with other local WELS and ELS congregations. It is great joining our voices together to celebrate our Ascended Lord!
THANK YOU SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS 2026
A HUGE thank you to the Sunday School teachers for your work throughout the year! Our church family truly appreciates all your time and effort that you gave to the Sunday School ministry! Many of us have seen the smiles on the kids faces as they race to their parents to tell them what they have learned and what they made during their lesson.
A special thank you to Dave for being the Education Coordinator the past few years!
