"We were not unlike dozens of WELS congregations north of a line drawn from Green Bay to Wausau to Eau Claire. We were and continue to be a small Northwoods congregation."
|
|
Being part of a smaller congregation brings unique challenges, from worship space and building maintenance to pastor support and volunteer involvement. However, members of Our Savior in Phillips, Wis., are not just learning how important it is to be an active member in the church, but they are also learning how to trust that the Lord will provide and guide them according to his plan.

Located on the eastern edge of Phoenix, San Tan Valley is experiencing rapid growth with no signs of slowing down. Since 2022, the Arizona-California District Mission Board has been working with Heritage in Gilbert, Ariz., to plant a new mission in the area. A core group of 26 adults has been gathering regularly for Bible study and community events, building connections and momentum. In October 2024, they began holding regular worship services and have already identified 127 prospects interested in learning more about the new church.
