WHO WE ARE

IDENTITY
Established in 1957, Our Savior’s Lutheran Church (OSLC) is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), a nationwide denomination made up of 65 synods.
We are part of the South-Central Synod of Wisconsin (SCSW), which includes 133 congregations and worshiping communities across 13 counties in the region.
You can read our OSLC Constitution for more about how our congregation is organized and governed.
VALUES
We are the church that shares a living, daring confidence in God’s grace. For us, as the ELCA, this faith comes through the good news of Jesus Christ and gives us the freedom and the courage to wonder, discover and boldly participate in what God is up to in the world.
​
We are a church that is always being made new, and at the same time, is deeply rooted in Scripture, Lutheran theology and Lutheran confessions. We are also rooted in the vibrant, diverse communities and rich histories of our congregations. It’s through these roots that the Holy Spirit guides and nourishes us so that we can be a church that is both resilient and always new.
​
We welcome you to join this community of faith — the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America — regardless of your age, race, gender, life experience, complexities and questions. You have a unique story that can only add to the richness of the larger story that makes up the ELCA. There is a place for you here!
