So...who are we at Valley Lutheran?

Here’s our story...

History - Valley Evangelical Lutheran Church (Evangelical mean: gospel-preaching) began in 1984 when a few families gathered together in their homes for worship and Bible study. Neighboring WELS (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod--our national church body) pastors visited once or twice a month and began meeting on Sunday in rented facilities.  Currently we are meeting in a chapel area in the church parsonage at 567 Long Drive.

Our Own Pastor – Our pastor’s name is Gary Schult.  He and his wife Janice are very friendly, welcoming people.  We know you will like them.   Feel free to drop in for a visit to meet them.

Beliefs & Purpose - Valley Lutheran, a mission of the WELS, believes that the Bible is entirely God's Word.  Therefore it is the basis for what we believe and how we live.   We believe Jesus Christ is the Savior of all people. The purpose of our church is to glorify God by 1) growing in the Word, 2) serving one another in love, and 3) spreading the good news of Jesus in our community and throughout the world.

Worship - Valley Lutheran offers a worship service that emphasizes God's love for sinners. We currently meet on Sunday in the chapel area of the church parsonage located at 567 Long Drive.  Worship begins at 9:00 a.m. and is followed by refreshments at 10:00 a.m.  Sunday Bible classes for all ages begin at about 10:15 a.m.

Adult Bible Study - Bible study classes offer participants more in-depth analysis of God's Word and practical applications to life issues, enabling people to grow spiritually.  Sunday Adult Bible Study begins at 10:15 a.m.   An additional Bible study class is also held on Wednesday evenings from 7-8 p.m. at 567 Long Drive.

Children/Youth Bible Study - On Sundays, Children and Youth Sunday School classes meet at 10:15 a.m. Summer Vacation Bible School is held at the end of June.  These VBS classes provide opportunities for children to learn about our Savior Jesus Christ in an interactive atmosphere. Service and social activities for youth are also scheduled throughout the year.

Fellowship/Service Opportunities - Various fellowship/service opportunities are available at Valley Lutheran including: a refreshment table of coffee, juice & snacks following the Sunday worship service, children and adult choirs, pot-luck dinners and picnics, youth hikes, to name a few. Members and visitors alike are encouraged to get involved. Join us at Valley Lutheran!
