St. Jakobi Lutheran Church

About this church

St. Jakobi Lutheran Church near Shawano worships Saturday at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday at 9 a.m., with Holy Communion at both services. Sunday Bible study and school-year Sunday School begin at 10:30. Additional Bible study meets Thursday at 1 p.m.; a Wednesday 6:30 p.m. study runs September through May but pauses during Advent and Lent. Worship follows the Lutheran Service Book and the LCMS three-year lectionary, moving through invocation, hymns, confession and absolution, Scripture, creed, sermon, prayer, Communion, and blessing.

This North Wisconsin District congregation traces local Lutheran worship to settlers meeting in homes. Twelve families built a log church in 1885, and the present church was constructed in 1907–1908. Its beliefs emphasize Scripture, the Lutheran confessions, salvation by grace through faith, infant baptism, and Christ's presence in Communion. Because receiving the Lord's Supper also expresses shared confession, visitors outside LCMS fellowship are asked to speak with the pastor before communing. Formation includes Confirmation for fifth through eighth grade, Sunday School from September through May, Vacation Bible School, and support for Lutheran education. A newcomer can choose the Saturday or Sunday service; Sunday provides the easiest path into the education hour immediately afterward.
