Our History

WELS Campus Ministry has been active on the East side of Milwaukee for almost 40 years, and until recently, under the leadership of the Milwaukee Federation of Churches, has increased it's presence to multiple campuses and the city with the purchase of a chapel by calling a full time pastor.

In the early part of 2008, a small group of members began the task of forming a new Congregation at the Campus Ministry site. This was finally accomplished on February 3rd, 2008. The Point of Grace Ev. Lutheran Church has been recognized by the Synod, the Federation and is a member of the WISCO Conference.

The TPOG Congregation will assist the Campus Ministry wherever it can by providing moral, financial, and spiritual support and exists primarily for that purpose. We do have a couple of different membership categories, including an Associate Membership for students attending school and retaining their membership in their home congregations.

The vision of The Point of Grace is to be a world-wide ministry bringing people into a safe environment (either in person or virtually), building them up into a strong community of Christ, and sending them out equipped with the gospel to every last and lost soul!
