Learning, Living, and Sharing God's Word
We are all about God's Word - first learning it, then living it, and also sharing it. God's Word is all about Jesus. Jesus is all about us and you. Yes, really. Give us a chance to explain. Browse these pages to see what we're about in more detail. Contact us if you have questions or just want to talk. That's one of the ways we love to share.
Living Word Lutheran Church, located in Waukesha, Wisconsin, is a congregation of about 150 Christians primarily seeking people who do not yet know of their need for Jesus. Living Word is affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS).
Until we have a facility of our own, we meet weekly at Rose Glen Elementary School (map) to worship God who is our Creator and Savior.
Feel free to contact Pastor John Borgwardt if you have questions about Living Word and our ministry in southwest Waukesha.
Day Camp 2009 - Jesus, Priceless Treasure
Reserve your space for the 5th annual Living Word Day Camp voyage July 9-10. Day Camp will run from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. each day at Rose Glen Elementary School located at Hwy. 59 and Brookhill Drive in southwest Waukesha.
Children 4 years old through 5th grade are invited to attend. The cost is $15 per child. (The $15 fee is for the entire camp whether the camper attends one or both days.)
Use a treasure map to find the buried earthly treasure. We'll use the Bible as our treasure map to God's love and salvation. We will learn how Jesus is our Priceless Treasure.
To ensure that you don't miss the ship, register online for your boarding pass.
Join us for God's Word, adventures, crafts, games, team building, snacks, lunch, singing, stories, Christian fellowship, and other fun. DVDs containing photos of Day Camp activities will be available for $5 each on the Sunday following the camp.
Living Word Purchases More Land
On Wednesday, March 25, 2009, Living Word closed on the purchase of an additional 3.7 acres adjacent to (south and west of) our original 3.3 acres of land across the road from Waukesha West High School. The total area (approximately) is shown shaded in red in the picture at the left.
During the next several months, various committees will be active in making plans for the design and construction of the building or buildings to be erected at the site and in gathering funds needed to pay for and maintain the facility.
Living Word will use these facilities to further community outreach and to continue to implement the stated mission of sharing God's Word especially with those who have yet to hear about it.
More information will be published here in the coming months as work on this project progresses.
If you have specific questions about the purchase or future plans, please contact Pastor John Borgwardt.
Jesus Is Stronger than the Strong Man
Who is the strongest man on earth? If you're from Japan, you might think of the strongest men in that country -- sumo wrestlers. If you lived a few decades ago and knew the Ringling brothers or P.T. Barnum, you might think that the strongest man in the world lived at the circus because all the posters said he could pick up an elephant with his teeth. If you follow the Mr. Universe competition, you might think that the youngest man every to hold that title at age 20 is still the strongest man in the world -- and now he's trying to hold together the economy of California -- Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Who is the strongest man on earth? You might think of Olympian power lifters or Guinness Book of World Record holders or, on Father's Day, you might think of your own father as the strongest man on earth. But as strong as all those men are, Jesus tells us there is someone stronger, and why you need to know who it is, in Mark 3:20-35... more...
