About Our Church
St. Paul's Church was founded in 1885 by Reverend A. Moussa who was the first pastor. We are a member of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod or WELS for short. Our historic church is situated on 313 4th Street in beautiful Manistee, Michigan and is a great and beautiful place to worship. It is the only WELS church in Manistee and Benzie Counties. Our building has stood for over 100 years and has been well maintained with many improvements made over the years. Our community of parishioners are friendly and welcoming. We would love to have you join our church.
What We Believe
Christ’s love, which he demonstrated by his perfect life and by his suffering and death on the cross, is the foundation for our relationship with God, the focus of our faith, and the motivation for all we do as Christians. In that same love for sinners Christ not only lived and died to set us free from sin and guilt, but he also rose again in victory on the first Easter Sunday, assuring us that his victory is our victory and that his resurrection is our resurrection. Saved by his grace alone, we look forward to his glorious return as we proclaim the good news of what his love has accomplished.
