We proclaim Jesus Christ, both God and Man, as Lord and Savior. We stand wholeheartedly on the teachings of the Bible as God's Divinely inerrant Word. We are a Bible-teaching church.

Statement from brochure

The Body of Christ actively responding to the Great Commission by proclaiming in our homes, in our community and to the world - the Good News that Jesus Christ has redeemed mankind.

Messiah Evangelical Lutheran Church, a member congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod, is a conservative orthodox congregation in the tradition of confessional Lutheranism as defined in the unaltered Augsburg Confession of 1530. Messiah maintains a strict adherence to the Biblical mandates in the inerrancy of scripture, infant baptism, sin and repentance, and the real presence of Jesus Christ in Holy Communion.

We are a member congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod, a synod in fellowship with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, united in a common love of God's Word. It is dedicated to the spreading of the three great principles, the Word alone - by grace alone - by faith alone, which are the heritage of the Lutheran Church.

Adult Bible class and Sunday School

Sunday morning adult Bible class runs simultaneously with the children's Sunday School program, offering adults an opportunity to participate in an in-depth study of God's Word. Topics vary according to the needs, interests and concerns of the Bible study participants.

Wednesday Bible Study

Wednesday Bible Study takes place at the church at 6:45 p.m. All are welcome to attend our Bible study.

Junior Confirmation

A comprehensive instruction program is offered to assist parents in their responsibiity of preparing their children for publicly assuming responsibility for (confirming) the vows made at Baptism. The curriculum, based on Luther's Catechism, is taught in a flexible environment designed to meet the educational and schedule needs of each individual student and their family.

Adult Information Course

The goal of this course is to provide information on the basic teachings of Christianity. This course is for people who have a curiosity about such or the beliefs and practices of confessional Lutheranism. It is for those who have any interest in our church and want to know what we believe, teach and practice. Finally, it is designed for people who are thinking of joining our church so that they can become a part of our united confession of the teachings of Scripture. There is no obligation to join our church associated with taking this course. The course consists of six classes that are held either in an individual, couple or group setting. Each class lasts about 60-90 minutes and is scheduled to meet the needs of the participants. There is no cost for the course or the materials received. Send Pastor Haugen an e-mail if you would be interested in attending a class or enrolling in the course.

Description of ELS

The Evangelical Lutheran Synod is today typically "American," that is, it is a "melting pot" of every nationality and background. It had its origin among the early settlers of Norwegion descent. As orthodox, confessional Lutherans, we embrace as our primary confessions of faith the symbolical books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church contained in the Book of Concord of 1580, namely the Apostles', Nicene and Athanasian Creeds, the Augsburg Confession and its Apology; the Smalcald Articles; Luther's Small and Large Catechisms and the Formula of Concord. We accept these Confessions, not in so far as, but because they agree with Scripture, and we believe that they are a correct exposition of the teaching of God's Word. Adherence to these confessions, drawn from Scripture, is in keeping with St. Peter's exhortation: "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have" (1 Peter 3:15).
