A Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod Church for Forestville

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.

Forestville, Wisconsin, is a small community in southern Door County with a rich rural heritage shaped by farming, the Ahnapee River, and the historic Forestville Dam and millpond. Located along State Highway 42, Forestville connects the countryside of southern Door County with the neighboring communities of Algoma and Kewaunee County. Just a short drive south, St. John’s Lutheran Church in Algoma welcomes individuals and families from Forestville seeking traditional Lutheran worship centered on God’s word and the sacraments. At St. John’s, the historic Lutheran faith remains at the heart of congregational life, with worship centered on the Divine Service and the enduring teachings of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. Our congregation seeks to proclaim God’s Word faithfully, serve one another in Christ’s name, and share the Christian faith with our neighbors. Whether you live in Forestville or the surrounding countryside, we invite you to join us for worship and Christian fellowship!
