Mission / Leadership / Vision | Our History | Our Lutheran Faith Tradition

Our Mission Statement:

It is the purpose of First United Lutheran Church, Sheboygan, Wisconsin, of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, to engage as many persons as will share its confession of faith in a fellowship of worship, learning, witness, and service that the Word of God is Jesus Christ may become effective in their lives together and individually, including relationships with other Christian fellowships and with social institutions at home and throughout the world.

1934 Statement of Leadership

It is our purpose to be as useful in the service of our Lord as our ability and time will enable us to be. To minister to all the needs of our fellow human beings in the Name and in the Spirit of our Savior is the duty and privilege which we gladly assume. To those afflicted with pain and suffering, to those who walk in doubt and uncertainty, to those whose hearts are burdened with sorrow and grief, to all who long for the ministering in Christ, we willingly, in Christian humility, offer our services.

United Renewed
to Praise, Care, and Serve

The Vision . . .

We renew our mission as members of a tradition begun in 1934.

We come together each week to give praise to our Creator God, the source of life, who fills us with unconditional love and renews us with hope and promise. We worship in our renewed space giving praise with our hearts in word, song, and silence.

We come together each week supporting one another with our prayers for one another and for ourselves. We reach out and care for those within our community, having received God's care in our own lives. We share that care with one another.

Following the steps of Jesus, we are called to serve others, bearing witness to the love of God. We serve others in our hopes, our work place, our community, and throughout the world.
