St. Paul's Lutheran Church WELS, Marquette, MI.

St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church is located at the top of Green Garden Hill about 8 miles southeast of Marquette, MI on U.S. Hwy 41 S. Our congregation was started more than 150 years ago when five German Lutheran immigrant families arrived in the Marquette area in 1863 and began meeting together in their homes to read and study the Bible. Later they officially formed St. Paul’s and in 1889 built the current historic church building in which the congregation has worshiped since then.

St. Paul’s is a member of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). We subscribe to the belief that the entire Bible is inspired by God through the men he chose to write down his word. We believe as Jesus Christ himself says, “The scriptures cannot be broken” that is, in its 66 books there are no errors. We, therefore believe that the entire Bible from cover to cover is God’s Word.

As a congregation of the WELS we also subscribe to the historic Lutheran confessions penned by the Lutheran Reformers of the 16th century and contained in the Book of Concord. We subscribe to these confessions because they clearly and thoroughly explain and expound the truths of scripture.

We invite you to come and see for yourself what we believe and teach. Sunday morning worship is at 10:15 a.m. with Sunday school at 9:00 a.m. (for children pre-K to 6th grade) and Adult Bible study also at 9:00 a.m.

Pastor John Ruege, Jr., our pastor was installed as our 16th pastor on June 5, 2016.
