WELS - the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod - is a Christ-preaching, Bible-believing, people-serving church. We are fully committed to the threefold principles of the Reformation: Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone. We believe, teach and confess that salvation is ours by the grace (undeserved mercy) of God through faith in Jesus Christ, as taught in the Word of God. We hold to the Bible as the completely true and inspired Word of God, the only source and authority for Christian faith and life.
