This We Believe
Introduction
“Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven” (Matthew 10:32). With these words Jesus indicates that he wants Christians to confess publicly what they believe in their hearts.
This We Believe is one way the members of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod have chosen to confess their faith in Christ. It publicly summarizes the main teachings of our church body.
This We Believe was first published in 1967. A minor revision was undertaken in 1980. In consultation with the Conference of Presidents, the Commission on Inter-Church Relations completed the present revision in 1999. This second revision seeks to simplify the language and to add some important points of doctrine not addressed in the first two editions. The current revision was not undertaken because of doctrinal disagreement with the previous editions.
The current document does not claim to be a full treatment of all the Bible’s teachings. For a fuller exposition of the doctrines of Scripture, the reader is referred to other sources, including the pamphlet Doctrinal Statements of the WELS (Northwestern Publishing House, 1997).
It should also be noted that This We Believe was not specifically designed to serve as an outreach tool for unchurched people, but as a basis for doctrinal discussions with other church bodies and informed individuals.
It is our conviction that over the years This We Believe has been a great blessing to the church. This revised edition is presented with the fervent prayer that it may continue to serve Christ’s church, to the glory of his name and for the extension of his kingdom.

Like believers throughout the ages, members of St. Luke Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Church come together to pray and sing praises to their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to hear His Word read and explained, and to participate in the Sacraments which He instituted. St. Luke Lutheran Church practices a liturgical form of worship. This is the traditional style of worship in the Christian church. Use of this structured format creates a sense of oneness with other Christian churches. Liturgical worship developed as an oral means of helping the congregation learn and remember the message of Scripture.
The liturgy combines the reading of God's Word, Psalms, songs, scripture verses, and prayers. The recitation of Scripture helps worshipers memorize Scripture passages as well as reminding them of the Gospel message of God's forgiveness through the sufferings and death of His Son Jesus Christ. This allows young children or adults who cannot read an opportunity to participate in the worship service.
Liturgical worship serves to keep worshipers mindful of what God did for us rather than focusing on their own actions. The emphasis is on God's Word, not on our emotions.
The Sacraments include Baptism — both infant and adult (for those who have never been baptized) — and Holy Communion — the eating and drinking of consecrated bread and wine which are the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. St. Luke practices close or closed communion designed to protect those who have not learned the significance of this sacrament from eating and drinking to their damnation.
Bible Information classes are offered regularly to share the Biblical teachings of the Lutheran Church with others so that they might join the members of St. Luke in true worship and participation in the sacraments.
