Lots of younger energetic people intermixed with a few older people. We sat next to a couple in their 70s and were welcomed with hugs, handshakes and plenty of cheerfulness. The older lady next to us gave us a intro through narrative during the service which was nice. The pastor is young and fiery. I like that he uses a comedy approach and can elicit laughter to make a point. Church, in my humble opinion, should be a welcoming environment that uplifts your soul while gently reminding us all that we are responsible for our own decisions, but there is guidance available to those in need. The fire and brimstone approach is a fear tactic to scare people into submission... this pastor has no need for that because he is an excellent orator and can relate to those in his flock. He seems to be one of Milwaukee's best and brightest. The city is lucky to have this family leading the way. We also used the child care and greatly appreciated the extra attention they gave to be security focused and friendly at the same time. We now consider this our home Church.

I really want to like this church as it has a cool, artsy vibe in a very trendy neighborhood. The…read moremessages are biblically based. The sermons were exactly what I needed several times. There is a prayer team, next to the loud worship band at the end of the service - is there a quieter place to do this? The prayer team from what I learned at a new member dinner at the pastors house does not get together or receive emails to pray over the prayer requests, although there is a prayer request form on the website. The pastor seems to have anxiety pacing at the end of a service and does not talk with anyone. There are great community groups to belong to. The elders of the church are all men, families with young children and all best friends. The pastor is part owner of a coffee shop that serves alcohol a few evenings a week- two locations. Sorry enabling people to drink when there is a Celebrate Recovery offered at either location is a major conflict of interest.

Let by Pastor David, you can experience Sermons that go beyond teachings of the bible, but community based ideas, international problems and self-awareness. I am not Lutheran, but a good friend is and I have been visiting this church with him on and off for 3 years now.

First off, full disclosure; I am an active member of Lake Park. I believe my review is unbiased as…read moreit can be, but please feel free to challenge me. Lake Park is a medium urban congregation. The community is open and friendly to newcomers, without being overly so. If you are a new face in the service, expect a few people to say hello and introduce themselves. You will not feel overwhelmed by everybody in the sanctuary coming to get your vital statistics. Lake Park is Reconciling in Christ Church, which means the LGBT community id a full part of the congregation. For some churches this is just a label, here it is part of the mission. If you grew up unchurched, you will feel comfortable in the service. Everything is laid out in a straight forward manner so you can follow along. If you grew up as a Lutheran like I did, it will be familiar to you, but not quite as you remember it. While it is a liturgical service, don't expect the Lutheran service of your childhood. Parts of the liturgy have been removed from regular rotation; confession and the creed and not done every week. I am sure there is a theological reason for this, I am just not aware of it. Be prepared for active children in the service. Many parents bring their kids with them to worship. While they will not screaming or running up and down the aisles (most of the time); you will know that they are there. There is a nursery available to those who want it; children form 6 months to 6 years are welcome. Many parents feel there children belong in the service with them. My wife and I originally felt this way, but our daughter now goes to the nursery each Sunday. Other peoples kids don't bother me, but my own makes it so I can't concentrate. The staff of the nursery is paid, background checked and all over 18. If there is a reason your child needs you, they will find you. You sign your child in and out so that they are accounted for. The staff is outstanding and always great with the kids. My daughter can be pretty clingy while there, and they handle it great while still paying attention to all the kids that are there. I think that pretty much covers it. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions

Okay, get ready for a shocker - for those that know me…read more This is the church I attended growing up. I think I was baptized here, and went to Sunday School here. I was confirmed here. I was bored out of my mind thru many sermons, and always participated in the Xmas eve programs with the rest of the kids. I left it all behind to be the Agnostic I am now, but there are still some pretty happy memories from my Formative Years that happened here. My mom teaches ESL classes here for the now mostly Hispanic congregation. And she's still a member. My dad and I don't get it, but whatever, it makes her happy. Oh, and she's learning Spanish from her students - have I mentioned she's gonna be 80? And is still hot. A really good experience I had here, was my confirmation classes. The pastor at the time was this no-nonsense, straight talk guy. He used to be not only a marine, but a policeman. He had a very realistic way of looking at the world, and related that to the religious stuff we were learning in 8th grade when we Lutherans were "confirmed". I can still parrot some of the stuff I memorized from Luther's Small Catechism - and if that doesn't amuse and horrify my friends, my friend, then nothing will.

If you are looking for a volunteer opportunity, look no further! All you need is a decent grasp of conversational English and you can make a difference and make some friends while doing this. As other reviewers have stated, this church offers English classes for (Spanish speaking) immigrants 3x/week, 2 hours each. It is highly flexible, accepting volunteers from nearby schools, churches, and the community for whatever time commitment they can make. I initially signed up for 1 or 2 nights a week, but loved it so much that I signed up for every night I was available! I helped 2 students with English, they threw in some Spanish lessons for me, and we learned about each other's lives as we learned each other's languages. I developed a great relationship with the 2 students I worked with - so much so that I was sad when one of them was paired with someone else. We are going out for margaritas to celebrate the end of a recent session! The church is extremely generous and donates the space, electricity, and copies of the worksheets that guide our lessons. Other funding comes from other congregations, grants, and donations from students and tutors. The English lessons are headed up by Lori and Issac, two fluent English/Spanish speakers. Students and tutors alike enjoy Lori's enthusiasm and consistency. Isaac offers voluntary Spanish language Bible studies at the end of each day's lesson. Childcare is usually available for children older than 4. At the end of a lesson block student's accomplishments are recognized by having volunteers read their compositions and giving out certificates to students who have had perfect attendance or attended certain numbers of lessons (like 100). Afterwards there is a delicious potluck. It's a great celebration of the progress students make and a chance for locals to try some great Mexican food.

It lifted my spirit. What a warm place for me to be. St. Matt's is a beautiful church. I was drawn to the music, for sure. I always sat close to the musicians. And there, also, especially when the sun was shining, a white cross appeared in one section of the stained glass that I was facing. I was touched. St. Matt's, however, was a place of contrasts/contradiction for me. Although there were many friendly parishioners, a woman's place in the service, in "leadership", was defined by men. Perhaps it was a generational thing and after all of these years, things have really changed. Healing services were appreciated when I was first introduced to them, but they soon became too influenced by the judgments of men. It seemed to me that women of advanced educational standing and experience were considered a threat, to males and females. Divorced women, although "welcomed into the fold" were slighted. An inscribed gift that I had given to the church library in thanks for kindnesses shown had disappeared completely and had "never been a part of the inventory." A place of contradiction, in my mind...One day I will return. I long to feel the presence, especially when that small white cross is shining in the stained glass.
