Welcome to St. John's Lutheran Church and School.

We are located in the village of Wauwatosa, and are part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). Started in the year 1882, 2012 marks our 130th anniversary at the present location! Take a few minutes to learn more about God's Word, our Church, and School, by visiting the many informative pages on our website.

A special open forum was held in December to discuss the new/revised Mission/Vision document that the Mission/Vision Task Force has been working on since Summer, 2010.

The purpose of this special gathering was to explain the rationale behind the document and solicit feedback from members. The initial draft has been revised and will be presented for final adoption at our annual State of the Parish meeting that will be held after services on Sunday, January 29th, 2012.

To view the updated Mission/Vision document, please click here. Paper copies are also available in the narthex.

We thank the members of the Mission/Vision Task Force, Jane Eddinger, Dan Moffett, Sue Smith and Rachel Urfer for the time and energy they have devoted to this project, and we thank everyone who through surveys and focus groups contributed to a process that will, Lord willing, help us chart a course for our future ministry at St. John's.
