New Heights has a long history that began over 100 years ago when St. Johns (Mazomanie, WI.) and Our Saviours (Black Earth,WI.) Lutheran churches were formed. Generations of faithfulness, joy and challenges led to these two churches joining together to form New Heights Lutheran Church in 2009. Since then, the focus has been on renewal and revitalization as we continue to carry out God’s mission for us. With a strong sense of God’s vision and mission we have grown into a healthy and vital faith community, reaching and connecting people of all ages and from a variety of backgrounds.
Our core values define how we reflect Christ in our lives; this is how we connect our faith in Christ with our daily lives.

Communion Visitation Ministers are part of a service based on an understanding of Holy Communion that sees the Sacrament reaching out to embrace those who are forced to be absent from Worship because of illness or being homebound. It is an extension of our Weekend Communion Meal. This ministry ties together the proclamation of the Word through the Words of Institution and the ministry to the ill and homebound. A clear connection is made between members of the congregation in the sacrament, whether assembled in the worship service or separated from the congregation. Communion Ministers are carefully trained to carry out this important ministry. Communion visitors visit each homebound person monthly.

New Heights Small Groups are all led by mission partners that have discerned their call to be in a leadership and facilitative role. Each small group is different and may compile a variance of demographics. Small Group Leaders will help discern the study’s content and group direction, while walking alongside their members in faithful conversation, curiosity, and relationship. Leaders may have a variety of backgrounds and experience in leading–what’s important is remembering that everyone (not just the Pastor) is equipped to share the love and good news of Christ!
