South Wisconsin District (LCMS)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The South Wisconsin District is one of the 35 districts of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS), and covers the southern third of the state of Wisconsin. The northern two-thirds are in the North Wisconsin District; there are also two Wisconsin congregations in the Minnesota North District. In addition, twelve congregations in the South Wisconsin District's area are in the non-geographic English District, and two are in the SELC District. The South Wisconsin District includes approximately 212 congregations and missions, subdivided into 27 circuits, as well as 34 preschools, 63 elementary schools and 7 high schools. Baptized membership in district congregations is approximately 125,000.

The South Wisconsin District was formed in 1916 when the Wisconsin District was divided. District offices are located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; the Rev. John Wille became the district president in September 2006 [1]. Delegates from each congregation meet in convention every three years to elect the district president, vice presidents, circuit counselors, a board of directors, and other officers; the last convention was held on June 11-13, 2006, and the next will be held in 2009.

Concordia University Wisconsin in Mequon, part of the LCMS' Concordia University System, is located within the district. Camp LuWiSoMo in Wild Rose, Wisconsin is owned and operated by the South Wisconsin District.
