About Grace
God’s grace welcomes you, no matter who you are or where you come from – and so do we. We believe that Jesus Christ is the true Savior of all people. By his perfect life, innocent death, and triumphant resurrection, he saves all lost sinners even without our help. Grace is a Lutheran church affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. History of Grace
Grace Lutheran Church has carried out its downtown Milwaukee ministry since 1849. The congregation's first pastor, Johannes Muehlhaeuser, was trained as a missionary in German schools and came to America to serve the thousands of German immigrants who were flocking to the Midwest in the middle of the 19th century. Meeting at first on the west side of the Milwaukee River, the congregation built its first church building on the east side of the river, and has worshipped at the corner of Broadway and Juneau Avenue ever since the dedication of that building in 1851.

Grace Groups are a great way to get to know other people, build Christian friendships, experience life together, and apply God’s Word to your life.
A new session started on September 13, but it’s not to late to join!
Each group determines how often to meet over a six-week period. There are multiple groups, and any one of them could be right for your stage of life!
Find out more about this exciting way to connect with other members by clicking the link in our bio. From there, you’ll click the “Get Involved” tab, then “Grace Groups.”
If you have any questions, get in touch with Pastor Jacob Haag at [email protected].

Date Change!
Another Great Grace Hike is coming soon; this time as an urban edition: “Ol’ Man River”. The east bank of the Milwaukee River has a surprising wealth of beauty, interest, and variety, yet it’s seen by so few.
See it for yourself with us on Saturday, October 17 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Trails through trees between two pretty parks, with history and mystery, plus a special surprise. And all this wrapped up with our Great Grace Friendly Fellowship!
For details and to sign up, contact Jon Rupprecht at [email protected] or (414) 559-4110.

Bible Study will resume tomorrow (Sunday, September 13)! Join one of the Grace pastors in the Grace Center Great Hall on Sunday mornings at 9 or 10:30 a.m.
Fall Bible Study theme (also in the graphic):
When asked which of his many writings should be preserved for future generations, Martin Luther only listed two: his catechism and The Bo***ge of the Will. Many Lutherans today are familiar with his catechism but maybe have never read Luther’s famous writing on the human will. This fall Bible study will explore the history behind this writing and allow participants to read and discuss some selections of it. All along, we’ll see how Luther points us to God’s grace in our salvation. Join us for the 500th anniversary of The Bo***ge of the Will and how it still impacts our faith today.
