St. John is a member of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) and was established in 1856.  Maybe you’ve seen us – we’re the little white church easily spotted off I-94 just West of Lake Mills.  Though we’ve been around a while, we’re a small country church made up of members and visitors of all ages.  Our Pastor is Paul Burk, who has served our congregation since 2007.

We worship our gracious God every Sunday and sometimes in special services during the week.  We have Sunday School (SS) for children through 5th grade, Teen Bible Class (TBC) for youth through 12th grade, and Adult Bible Class (ABC) for adults of all ages.  We also offer opportunities for fun and growth outside of Sunday mornings. 

Check out our website to learn more about us:  www.stjohn-newville.com.  And visit us on Sunday mornings.  It will be our pleasure!

  Mission Statement : We are a  INTERFAITH 501C3 Spiritual Education Organization, based  in Lake Mills,  Wisconsin, near the beautiful and very sacred and magical Rock Lake. I believe in the  “ONENESS” of ALL life and that everyone has a  purpose. Our philosophy is to treat ALL PEOPLE with compassion, integrity, and  without judgment. To open my heart and center to all those who are ready and able to receive Love and Peace. We will turn no one away for lack of money or choice of  their individual  beliefs or religious convictions. Our goals and purpose for the Namaste  Center is really quite simple:  To bring spiritual information and education to assist in the awakening of consciousness on earth. Our beliefs are based on Universal Truths found in  ALL religions. We  believe that the practice of Truth is very personal  to each individual.  Come to Namaste and discover the wonder of  individual spirituality. The ultimate purpose for Namaste and myself, is to  project the belief that: All Religions Are Good. People of all faiths can  find a common spiritual philosophy of life under one banner or umbrella of  energy. It is not the aim of Namaste to teach one religion for all, but  the exact opposite– to embrace all, from many religions, faiths, and  healing modalities, so that the followers of all faiths, all philosophies, may  find spiritual strength in and at Namaste. ALL may come into Namaste no matter what their religion,  keeping their own ideas, and their own beliefs. May you come to Namaste  bringing your own religion with you, and find a  Welcome and Open Heart. NAMASTE ‘

We believe downtown is not just a place, but a symbol. A symbol of the economic health of a community, a symbol of the quality of life of the people who live there. Downtown gives us a sense of our history and of pride in our community.  It is the literal and figurative heart of a town.

Great downtowns don’t just happen – there has to be a vision of what the downtown can become, there has to be strong leaders willing to do what it takes to succeed, there has to be constant management and there has to be participation by all members of a community. In Lake Mills we are extremely fortunate to have all those elements in the Lake Mills Main Street Program. We are supported in our mission by our members, both individual and business, and our volunteers. Please see out website for more information.
