Christ Lutheran Church held
its first worship service on Sunday, Feb. 6, 1996, in the Lake Mills
Town Hall. In August 1997, the English District of the Lutheran
Church-Missouri Synod purchased the present church property on behalf of
the congregation. On Sept. 24, 2000, the church became a chartered
member of the synod and assumed ownership of the property.

Christ Lutheran
Church - Lake Mills is part of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. We
believe in the Triune God: the Father, creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ,
the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and
to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and the Holy
Spirit, who creates faith through God's Word and Sacraments. The three persons
of the Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God.
Being "Lutheran," our congregations accept and teach Bible-based
teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church
in the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized
in three short phrases: Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone.
Grace alone
God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against
Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable
and save the ungodly.
Faith alone
By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus
purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this
Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith
in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.
Scripture alone
The Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and
His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for
Christian doctrine.
