Ministries

Our Tuesday and Thursday Bible studies will be starting back up in October and will run through March. I hope you can join us as we continue with Paul’s letters to the church in Corinth. 

No sign up’s needed, Bible’s can also be provided. 

Volunteers

Are you looking for a way to serve at Grace? We are looking for people to help remove the snow from the sidewalks during the winter. We need additional members to continue this service and reduce the workload for everyone. We hire a service to plow the parking lot, but volunteers save the congregation money by clearing the sidewalks. We have snow blowers, shovels and salt to provide a safe entry to Grace and the community.

People are assigned to teams of two people. You would be matched with a veteran who has helped in the past. Your team would be assigned five to six weeks from November through early May. The more teams we have the less weeks you are responsible for clearing snow.

If you are interested in this ministry, please contact Mark Koehler at (262) 957-7594 or markkoehler4@gmail.com as the snow will be coming soon. If you have any questions you may contact Mark.

Grace Lutheran Church Financial Summary

We as a Church Council have decided in the spirit of continuous improvement and transparency to the congregation to begin publishing a summary of the church's financials on a monthly basis. We feel this is in everyone's best interest to be transparent and aligned upon the financial health of the church.


In these monthly reports, we will include:

  1. Income & Expense Results from the Most Recent Month
  2. Income & Expense Results on a Year-To-Date basis
  3. A Summary of Cash Balances
  4. A Summary of Debt Balances
  5. A Summary of Year-To-Date Giving vs. Prior Periods

We welcome any feedback or suggestions as we continue to find the best ways to engage with the congregation.



Below are links to the latest month's 2025 financial documents. Thank you for your support of Grace Lutheran Church!

Please call prior or check Grace Calendar to make sure someone will be in office. Thank you!
