First English Lutheran Church

About this church

First English Lutheran Church in Whitewater gathers for traditional worship on Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. The service includes some contemporary pieces from the Praise Band, and Communion is part of every week. All who trust in Christ's presence in the meal are invited to receive, whatever their denominational background. From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, the congregation also worships at historic Heart Prairie, on Saturdays at 5:00 p.m. and Sundays at 8:00 a.m. Worship is also available on YouTube and on cable TV channel 990.

Children are welcome. Sunday School for Pre-K through 6th grade begins in the sanctuary with a children's message before students head to their classrooms. Other ministries include confirmation, adult studies, a choir, the Praise Band, Women of the ELCA, a prayer chain, and a campus ministry for UW-Whitewater students. The Thrift Shoppe on Church Street has served the community since 1966 and accepts donations and consignments.

The church is at 401 W. Main Street. Parking lots are on the west and south sides of the building, accessible spaces are directly behind the church, and street parking is available on Fourth Street.
