The Lutheran church is a liturgical church, Lutherans believe that the gospel is not only good news that Jesus has saved sinners, but also a power God uses to create and strengthen faith in Jesus.  Lutheran worship places the gospel in central focus in an order of service called the liturgy.  In message and meal (Holy Communion), in specially selected Bible readings, and in carefully crafted songs, prayers, and confessions, the liturgy points to Jesus as the Savior of all.

Risen Savior is part of a group of more than 1200 churches called the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod or WELS with congregations in all fifty states, as well as Canada and Mexico.  The WELS also serves over 26 other countries  through world mission work.
