Welcome to Risen Savior Lutheran
Church

 Q: What is
RISEN SAVIOR?
A: Risen Savior is a
Christ-centered new congregation of the WELS. We began
in 1998, with worship services at a local Lutheran high school. Our
congregation was started and is still served by Pastor Steven Blumer.
Risen Savior is a gathering of fellow Christians who welcome you to join
them in worshiping their Savior Jesus Christ!
Q: Why do I need a Savior?
A: Do you have faults and make mistakes?
We all do, and the Bible calls that sin. There is nothing we can do ourselves to
rid us of that spiritual problem, and "the wages of sin is death." But God
loved us and sent His son Jesus Christ to take away the sins of the entire
world. Through Christ, we are free from sin and have eternal
life! We can be sure of entering heaven someday, all because of Jesus!

 Q: What is a
Bible-believing church?
A: Our church believes and teaches that
the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God. This means that we
believe all the Bible, every word, has been given by God, inspiring human
writers. It is without error only because of that inspiration
from God. All of our teachings are drawn directly from the Holy
Scriptures and that is our only source of doctrine.
Q: Why do I
need a church?
A: When you
plant a garden, you need to water it and weed it, or the good plants get choked
out and die. We are here to water your good plant of faith in Jesus.
Our church is also a house of prayer. It is a place of
proclaiming the Word of God for all people. Finally, a church is also a
place of God's presence and blessing.
Q: What does Risen
Savior offer me?
A: Risen
Savior offers everyone the opportunities for regular worship and bible study.
For families, there are nursery and toddler rooms available during
worship. Risen Savior also has Sunday School available for those in grades
preschool through eighth grade, Vacation Bible School offered once yearly,
Confirmation class available for the youth and adults, an active youth group
program, and a couples' program. For Ladies, their are various bible
studies and organizations
offered. In addition to all of these opportunities, Risen Savior is a
family of Christian believers with endless fellowship, support, and
encouragement opportunities.

Q: What does it mean to
be a Lutheran?
A: There are
three key statements that came out of the Lutheran Reformation to sum up the
truths of Christianity. We are saved: (1) By God's grace alone, (2)
Through faith in Jesus alone, (3) Based on Scripture alone. This is
still a good summary of the teachings that make us Lutheran Christians. It
is the Word of God along with the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper,
through which God works to begin or strengthen our faith in Jesus.

 Q: What is the
WELS?
W =
Wisconsin: Our church body was formed in the state of
Wisconsin in 1850. In the past 150 years, the WELS has established
churches in all 50 states and in 26 countries of the world.
E = Evangelical: The WELS is
committed to sharing the Gospel of the Good News of Jesus with you (the
Biblical meaning of the word "evangelical" in our name).
L = Lutheran: The WELS is a
Lutheran church body meaning we follow the key reforms Martin Luther brought to
the church in his Reformation.
S = Synod: Finally, the WELS is
a synod (pronounced: 'sin-ud'). This word simply means church body or
literally "walking together" when translated from the greek. It refers to
the fact that all those who are members of our synod (the WELS) are on the same
path to heaven with each other. We are walking together on the same road
and have the same teachings. We share close fellowship as we walk together
in our Christian life with Jesus and with each other.
We invite you to
"walk together" with us!
