St. Luke's Lutheran Church is situated across the street to the north of Westfields Hospital on the west edge of New Richmond, WI. The sign and long lawn set off the church building. To enter the parking lot, turn north from Highway 64 on West River Drive, go 1 block left and turn left. This congregation formed in 1938. The first building is next to the present day Post Office. Approximately 1,000 members are affiliated with the congregation with a growing number of young families. The inside of the building, the sanctuary, is a "safe place" to which people may "retreat" in order to be "sent out" to the daily life of disciples. The altar symbolizes the presence of God from which the Lord's supper is served. The pulpit is for the proclamation of God's Word. The baptismal font marks the place where God has made us his own, loved and precious. The large cross is the familiar sign of the death of the Lamb of God for our forgiveness.
