Background

Can you imagine 3 congregations working as one to reach our various communities?  Teams are actively investigating the merger of Ebenezer Lutheran, Hales Corners Lutheran and Peace Lutheran-Racine. We pray that the Holy Spirit continues to guide us down this new path.

This merger would result in one congregation with 3 worship sites.  There are still hundreds of questions without answers.  With all 3 congregations approving the resolution to move forward we can begin to answer those questions as well as other questions we haven't even thought of yet.  We expect a merger about July 1, 2008.

The initial team investigating this combination consisted of 3 members from each congregation.  Teams are now working to explore ministry opportunities, property assessments, financial considerations and legal requirements.  Please continue to pray that we move forward according to the Will of God.
