Because iT Matters

Construction will take place on the church expansion from October 2024 through November 2025. Once construction begins, the front entrance of the church will be closed. During the week, entrance to the Grace Room and sanctuary will be through the Community Counseling and Care Center door on the west side of the building. For weekend services, the east side door through the Child Care Center will also be open.

Construction in the four-classroom school addition will take place from October 2024 – July 2025, with the addition ready for use at the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year.

Our outreach efforts will be enhanced as our guests enter the Gathering Space and experience a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.

The Gathering Space will also be a welcoming entrance for all our regular worshippers at the Muskego campus, a place where people connect before and after services over snacks and refreshments so that the bonds of Christian fellowship among members are strengthened.

Both worship languages will be blessed by having one staffed nursery and Kids Club in the same building as worship.

The new auditorium will provide a permanent location for The Bridge, relieving the stress of setting up hundreds of thousands of dollars of electronic equipment each week. A very large storage area for tables and chairs at the back of the auditorium will make this space flexible for a variety of uses by the congregation and community throughout the week.

All our youth will be blessed by additional classrooms for the school, by bringing Kids Club and worship into one building, and by providing a multi-use room off the Gathering Space where middle school and high school students can gather for activities outside of Sunday morning.

The Bridge MKE worshippers will benefit as $200,000 of our mission commitment is designated for remodeling or ministry enhancements at The Bridge MKE campus.

The 20,000 square-foot expansion of the church and the $5,000 square-foot expansion of the school will cost $10 million. In the fall of 2023, we committed $8 million over two years: $4 million for ongoing ministry, $1 million for missions, and $3 million for the building project. It is our prayer that by Dedication in late 2026, we could gather not only the $3 million already committed, but give an additional $1 million to greatly reduce our long-term borrowing costs.

Every gift you give to St. Paul’s through the end of 2026 is part of your Because iT Matters offering.

You can designate your gifts for Mission and Ministry, Building Fund, Wisconsin Synod missions, Wisconsin Lutheran High School, or our various other funds.

All Mission and Ministry Fund offerings beyond what is budgeted for on-campus ministry and missions will be placed into the building fund.
