A Church Serving Alaska

At every worship service, Jesus Christ is present with us and transforms sinners into saints and makes the dead to live eternally. Those are nothing short of miracles. I invite you to come and experience that at a worship service at St. John's.

A Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod Church for Alaska

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) is a denomination that confesses the historic, orthodox Christian faith, a faith built on “the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone” (Eph. 2:20). The LCMS, headquartered in St. Louis, Mo., is mission-oriented and Bible-based. LCMS doctrine reflects the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther, as summarized in The Book of Concord: The Confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Alaska, Wisconsin is a small community in the Town of Pierce in eastern Kewaunee County, with a name that sounds a little funny to many people's ears. The settlement's post office took its name from the Alaska Territory, as it was established the same year the United States purchased the territory from Russia in 1867.

Situated along Wisconsin Highway 42 between East Alaska Lake and West Alaska Lake, the community offers a glimpse of the quieter side of northeastern Wisconsin, where outdoor recreation and rural life go hand in hand. For residents of Alaska looking for a congregation rooted in the historic Lutheran faith, St. John’s Lutheran Church in Algoma is just up the road. We gather to hear God’s Word, receive His gifts in the sacraments, and find lasting comfort in the forgiveness and salvation Jesus Christ has won for us. Our faith is grounded not in changing opinions, but in the enduring promises of Scripture. If you live in Alaska or the surrounding Town of Pierce, we invite you to travel north on Highway 42 to E5221 Church Road in Algoma. Join us for worship and discover a church family centered on Christ and His Word.
