To preach repentance and remission of sins. We believe in the triune God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, which brings faith to man so that he can be saved. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who became flesh to redeem mankind. There is salvation in no other, for there is no other name that can save. We preach and teach from the King James Bible, which we believe to be an accurate translation from the original languages. We believe that man is saved by grace, through faith, which is a free gift from God, and that God calls us to lead holy lives, for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works. The Apostolic Lutheran Church of Ironwood is part of an international federation of congregations (www.apostoliclutheran.org). It has its roots in Scandinavia and came to America with the immigrants in the late 1800’s. The congregation met in homes until building a church on Sutherland Street which was occupied until 1981. We purchased and renovated our current building, the former National T store on Aurora Street. This building was dedicated on July 19, 1981 and has undergone exterior renovation in the last 10 years.

Ironwood Assembly of God 2100 E. Cloverland Drive Ironwood, MI 49938 906-932-1575 Pastor: Rev. Mark Ortman
Worship Services Sunday Morning Worship: 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, Mid-Week Service: 6:30 p.m. The mission statement of Ironwood Assembly of God is to “reach, love and grow people for the Kingdom of God” and has been its focus since the Church began in early 1930. The mission statement of the Church continues to be its focus and is being fulfilled through missions, fellowship and the preaching of the Word of God. Ironwood Assembly began in a tent on the corner of Ayer and Lake where revival services went on for 2 years with an itinerant evangelist. After meeting in that tent for 2 years, the new, fledging Church moved to South Suffolk Street, and rented a modest upstairs hall. With growth came a need for more space, and the congregation moved to a downstairs hall on Suffolk Street. In 1936, the Church officially incorporated under the laws of the State of Michigan, and affiliated with the Wisconsin Northern Michigan District of the Assemblies of God. At that time, the congregation built a new sanctuary with the pastor’s residence attached on the corner of Greenbush and Harding. Sensing the need for a bigger building due to growth, in the fall of 1951, the Church purchased the Swedish Methodist Church on the corner of McLeod Avenue and Curry Street and the building on Greenbush and Harding was sold. There were a number of pastors that served the congregation, but in January 2000, Rev. Mark Ortman was voted in as pastor and began serving as pastor in March 2000. Rev. Ortman and his wife, Ruth, have served the Church since that time. The Church moved to its present location in 1998 and 13 years later, in 2010, the debt was retired. The congregation gives all the credit to God for His faithfulness in helping them eliminate that debt. Early in 2013, the Church sponsored 2 young adults for a missions trip to Uganda, Africa. Several people from the Church have answered to call to full time ministry and are serving the Lord in various places around the world. Ironwood Assembly is a traditional Pentecostal Church that is sensitive to the Holy Spirit, exalts Jesus Christ, and desires to honor God in all they do. You are invited to join us for a service or call the Church office for more information.

Calvary Baptist Church 1201 Peters Street Wakefield, MI 49968 Church phone: (906) 229-5207 baptistwakefield.org email: pastor@baptistwakefield.org Pastor: Michael Riley
Worship Services Sunday School: 10:00 a.m. Morning Worship: 11:00 a.m. Afternoon: 1:30 p.m. (Nov-Apr), 6:00 p.m. (May-Oct) Prayer Meeting: Wednesday, 6:00 p.m. Our core commitment is that the church is not our invention; the church belongs to Jesus Christ, and his Word, the Bible, is our authority. For that reason, we seek to submit to Scripture in every aspect of church life. Our agenda is not set by our preferences, but by the Word of God. Because we believe that the Bible is the authority for the church, our services are characterized by thorough teaching from Scripture. Our goal in each sermon is to take the biblical text and explain what it means, in context, and how that applies to us. We also make much of theology: because we believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, we are convinced that there is value in seeking to understand how it all fits together. But the goal of Bible study is not academic: the first and greatest commandment is to love God with our whole beings, and the second is to love our neighbors as ourselves. We believe that the Bible reveals God’s plan of redemption: that God’s standard is perfect holiness, that we all sin and fall short of his requirement, and that Jesus Christ has met that standard in our place, taking the punishment that we deserve and offering to us his righteousness, to be received by faith. This gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, is the most important message of our church. Our goal is to proclaim this good news so that people are converted to Christ. Then, we work to help Christians grow in spiritual maturity, in their knowledge of Scripture, so that they too are equipped to do the work of ministry, so that the whole church is involved in building one another up in Christ. We seek to grow in love for God, exalting him in worship that is reverent, so that we learn to prize his kindness and his majesty. We believe that the church is central to God’s work in the world today, and that being part of the church is not merely optional for people who believe Jesus. In the church, we find encouragement to continue in love and good works, accountability, and a community in which we can show the love of Christ to one another. Ephesians 3:21: “To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

Church of the Transfiguration - Episcopal 336 East Aurora Street Ironwood, MI 49938 906-932-4395 Pastors: Rev. Manuel Padilla - regional missioner Rev. Gil Kangas
Worship Services Sundays: 10:00 a.m. Fellowship: Following Sunday Service Bible Study: 2nd and 4th Thursdays, 1:30 p.m. (September to April) In the fall of 1888, seven years after Al Norrie sank the first mine shaft in Gogebic County and one year before Ironwood was incorporated, some women of Ironwood formed The Episcopal Ladies Society. In the spring of 1889 the Mission of St. Paul was organized and services were held in rented rooms. A rector was called and plans made to secure a building. Two lots on the corner of Aurora and Marquette Streets were purchased and a building moved to the site. On Easter Day 1890 members attended the first service in the new St. Paul’s Mission. Mr. Al Norrie promised the Episcopal Ladies Society a donation of $1,000 towards the building of a stone church and a fund drive began. All materials and labor for the building were secured locally with trap rock quarried north of Ironwood and wood from The Montreal Lumber Company. On July 7, 1896 the cornerstone was laid and the following year the building was completed at a cost of $8,000. At the service of consecration the name was changed to The Church of the Transfiguration. Through the years many changes have improved the church property which include an electric pipe organ 1925, a memorial rose window in stained glass in 1937, as well as other stained glass windows. The young church was included in the missionary jurisdiction of The Diocese of Northern Michigan which was constituted in 1892. We follow a Mutual Ministry set forth by the diocese in which the members of Transfiguration in 1995 went through a process of selection and called a group from the membership to go through a 3 year training by our regional missioner and the Diocese. At the end of that training the group called from itself 2 priests, 2 deacons, 2 lay readers as well as other support roles. It is a ministry of the people, by the people. This ministry support was commissioned and the priests ordained on May 31, 1998 by Bishop Thomas Ray of the Diocese of Northern Michigan. Our Regional Missioner, who travels the extreme Western Upper Peninsula, rotates visits with 7 congregations and leads bible study at Transfiguration twice a month on the second and forth Thursdays at 1:30 (Sept.-April). Communion Services are offered at least twice a month alternating with morning prayer.

Positive change begins with a personal relationship with Him. As individuals we would experience forgiveness through His death on the cross, be changed, and transformed into a new life in Him. This relationship with Jesus Christ is able to affect our thoughts and actions. We encourage people to continue in this life in Christ by studying the Word of God and applying it to their lives. We believe that for a church to affect society, it must be made up of individuals and families that are passionate about growing and learning the ways of the Lord through His Word. We encourage men and fathers to rise up and assume their God given responsibilities as men and as leaders of their homes. The message of John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.�

The Christian religion was brought to Little Girl’s Point by the earliest settlers, Sunday services were held in the homes. In 1938, the Lake School teacher and some of the other young adults of the area began a Sunday School at the school house. In 1946, an adult class was formed. Following the adult confirmation in June, the first communion service was held. Later that year, a meeting was held for the purpose of forming a congregation. The name of Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church was adopted, and this was the beginning of our affiliation with the Missouri Synod. There were twelve voting members.
God has provided for this congregation for over 68 years, we give Him praise and thanks He His mercy and goodness. His is the Glory Forever and Ever, and we have faith that for all in the coming years. His people at Immanuel and in this community will continue to bless

Worship Services Sunday: 9:30 a.m. Thursday Bible Studies: 7:00 p.m. Communion: Last Sunday at 6:00 p.m. Mission: We are a Christ-centered, Bible preaching church whose purpose is to encourage and equip the saints to take the saving message of Jesus Christ to our community and to our world. In 1993 the Lord established Living Hope Church in Winchester, WI, first as a Bible study on Sunday evenings, developing soon after into a rejoicing fellowship of believers. Pastor Richard Krenz was the founding Pastor and continues to faithfully preach God’s Word. In recent years he has been joined by Pastor John Nuce, who shares in the privilege of teaching and preaching. Living Hope Church believes in what the Apostle Paul called the simplicity of Christ. The Name of our faith is Jesus Christ, and it is our desire to exalt, worship and praise Him first and foremost. It is the saving truth that God gave His Son, Jesus, to become a man and dwell with us here on this earth, to die in our place for our sins, and to rise again the third day; every man must hear and believe this truth to be saved and secure in Christ forever. We focus on this simple message as we work line by line, verse by verse, book by book through the Bible on Sunday mornings and Thursday evenings. Our worship services consist of singing hymns and choruses that exalt and praise our Savior, followed by the preaching of God’s Word. Our midweek Bible studies are on Thursday nights at 7:00. In these informal studies, we take a book of the Bible and study together verse by verse, striving to observe what God says, trust and believe Him, and apply these truths in our lives for His glory. Our sermons are available at livinghopesermons.com free of charge for your edification. We invite you to join us on Sunday mornings for worship at 9:30 a.m. at the corner of Highway O and W in Winchester, WI.

Our combined family has been worshiping in the current building since its dedication in 1974.

Fellowship is also a very important part of the life of our congregation. We enjoy visiting over a cup of coffee or a meal. A Daycare and Learning Center was established in 2003, and operates Monday to Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Enjoy quilting? We have a quilter's group that meets each Wednesday.

We are a liturgical church, enjoy singing the hymns of the faith from the Lutheran Service Book, and observe the historic festivals of the church year.

This all begins by trusting in Him as Savior with a life-changing, personal relationship with the living God through faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus lovingly died so that our sin can be forgiven. He rose from the dead to prove He conquered death. Anyone can now become a child of God and live with Him forever by trusting in Jesus’ sacrifice for sin. Jesus lovingly invites everyone to trust & follow Him! Life as a follower of Jesus is a life of ongoing growth and development. Such growth is only possible through prayer, Bible Study, fellowship with other disciples & worship, as provided in the local church. As we grow in love for God, we live to serve Him, & help others to know the blessings of a relationship with Jesus. This September, will mark the 26th year for the Range Community Bible Church. The church held its first Sunday morning service on 9/25/1988 in the Iron County Courthouse. It formed through the efforts of a home Bible Study held at the home of Doctors Neal & LeaAnn Schroeter. Worship services on Sunday mornings are at 9:00 & 10:30. There are children’s ministries & smaller Life Groups that meet during these times, as well as nursery for younger children. Small group Bible studies meet in various locations throughout the week. AWANA club for children & teen groups meet at the church on Wednesday nights.

St. Mary of the Seven Dolors 404 Iron Street Hurley, WI 54534 715-561-2606 stmaryshurley.org email: stmary7dolors@gmail.com

In the booming, brawling Hurley area community of 1885 and 1886, the missionary priest Fr. Chrysostom was the first visiting presence of the Catholic Church. In 1887 Father Gilbert Nuono gave the fledgling St. Mary’s parish its firm footing over the next 18 years. In 1891 St. Mary’s school opened to 120 students and served the Hurley community for nearly 100 years. In 1905 the new Diocese of Superior was formed and one of the first requests that came to the new bishop was from Fr. Nuono to build a new church for St. Mary’s. The church with the cornerstone was laid in 1906 and wasn’t finished until 1908. With the mines and the bustling lumber industry, Hurley had seen its heyday. With the decline of these economies, the Hurley area had become more dependent upon smaller industries, winter recreation and a service economy. St. Mary’s has shared in the communities lessening population as it falls in number while increasing in age. St. Mary’s church faces the same challenges and opportunities as the rest of the churches of the Diocese of Superior and of the United States. The shortage of priests has made us look directly at the need for consolidation and co-operation with other parishes. The church is actively recruiting and training parishioners to assume roles of leadership and ministry in our parish. Whatever direction of the Spirit leads us, we can be thankful for the faith and the efforts of those who have made St. Mary’s into what it is to-day. St. Mary’s 300 plus members church has several involved organizations and ministries. They have a group of dedicated lectors, Eucharistic ministers, altar servers and several lay ministers. They have an active communion distribution group for shut-ins and they provide many other ministries. They have an active music ministry, which is led by Jody DeCarlo-Schneider, Choir Director. The Religious Education Department is headed by Julie Pecotte. They also have an active Prayer Shawl Ministry headed by Donna Putzer.

Trinity Lutheran Church 401 Birch Street Bergland, MI 49910 Pastor – (cell) 906-285-3452 Pastor email: GogebicShepherd@Charter.net Pastor: Rev. Timothy J. Steckling
Worship Services Sundays: 9:00 a.m. (EST) Holy Communion celebrated on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month Fellowship Meal follows all Sunday services, except on holiday weekends Midweek Services (offered during Advent and Lent): Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. (EST) Weekly Bible Study: Tuesday mornings at 10:30 a.m. (EST) The history of Trinity Lutheran Church of Bergland, begins at the inception of the village itself. In the year 1902, as the Village of Bergland came into existence, Mrs. Anna Stindt began operating the Bergland motel. She was instrumental in establishing Lutheran services and encouraging mission work to be done by Lutheran pastors in the area. In 1922, it was decided that a church building should be constructed, which was completed and ready for dedication in the next year. Several pastors served the gathered worshipers, in their early years. It was under the able leadership of Rev. Seeliger, however, that the assembly was ready to officially organize as Trinity Lutheran Church, in 1933. After many years of steady growth, and in response to the need to relocate the church building away from Highway M-28, the current building was constructed. Since its dedication, in 1967, God has granted His Word to be preached and sacraments to be given in this place even unto today. As a member of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, our congregation holds to the Holy Scriptures as the inspired Word of God, the only rule and norm of our faith and life; and to the Lutheran Confessions as the true exposition of that Word. We are a liturgical church, enjoy singing the hymns of the faith from the Lutheran Service Book, and observe the historic festivals of the church year. Join us for worship; pull up a chair for lunch after the service; give thanks to God with us for the gifts He gives us in Jesus Christ our Lord!

Worship Services Sunday: 12:30 p.m. Coffee Hour: 11:30 a.m. (prior to worship) Communion: 1st Sunday of every other month
Open Hearts - Open Minds - Open Doors The Wakefield United Methodist Church was organized as a union church in 1907 under the supervision of the Methodist Episcopal Society. In 1938, the church burned and was rebuilt on the same site at 706 Putnam St. (US -2 across from the school). Recently a new addition and parking lot was constructed on the east side to provide a barrier-free entrance and handicapped-accessible restroom. In keeping with the United Methodist Slogan, “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors”, the Wakefield United Methodist Church has a number of popular activities for everyone in the Community. These include the Annual Roast Beef Dinner, Spring Rummage and Bake Sale, Election Day Soup and Chili Luncheon, and the Church Picnic at Eddy Park. This past year, in an effort to reach out to the Community, the Church has started a weekly “Free Community Dinner” held in the Church on Thursday evenings. Open to all, this is a “no charge” (donations accepted) complete dinner providing nourishment to the body and fellowship to the soul. This dinner is open to all, regardless of belief. In addition to our support of worldwide missions, our outreach includes an on-going Local Food Pantry Ministry; and, monthly Local Mission support to the community and individuals, as the need arises, which is supported by budgeted funds and a “Noisy Offering” taken the second Sunday of the month. Our mission is to worship God and follow the way of Jesus Christ providing an open sanctuary for all who follow Him, and to provide a community of believers and seekers in Christ, nourishment for their spiritual needs and opportunities and direction which will enable this congregation to reach out to others sharing God’s love and salvation. We invite you to worship with us!

Open hearts – Open minds – Open doors Our mission statement is “To welcome people into the family of Jesus Christ: growing together in our faith journey, witnessing to God’s blessings, serving Christ and glorifying His name.” Methodism took root in Ironwood over 125 years ago with the founding of the Swedish Methodist Church (later Grace Methodist) in the spring of 1886. Later in that year, several English families began meeting in a house on Vaughn St., leading to building in 1887 of the First Methodist Church across from the present day Memorial building. A new church was erected in 1892 at the location of the present church. A fire destroyed that church and today’s church was built in 1910 of granite from the hills south of the city. The Newport Methodist Church (also known as the English Methodist Church) was organized in 1886, with a church being built in the early 1900s. At one time there was also a Finnish Methodist Church, of which minimal history has survived. Multi-cultural traditions came together when in 1950 Grace joined with First Methodist, and then in 1960, the Newport Methodist Church merged with the other two. The combined churches became Wesley United Methodist Church. Although numbers have decreased, the congregation has remained steadfast through the years in professing God’s love. The worship service is enhanced by beautiful music played on the Moller Pipe Organ, known for its solid foundation of tones and orchestral voices from the pipes. Wesley United Methodist has reached out to the neighborhood surrounding the church, with Christmas parties, picnics, and by sponsoring campership scholarships for area youth. Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us.

Originally known as the White Pine Community Church, it was the first church in White Pine. The Methodist Church was the only church willing to send a pastor into the wilderness known as White Pine, thus it became the Methodist Community Church. Membership and ministry has fluctuated with the growth and the decline of the White Pine Copper Mine and the White Pine Community. Today the church is thriving, with ministries for all ages. Sunday morning worship is led by a praise team of guitar, key board, percussion, flute and cornet. The music is a blend of contemporary and traditional hymns. The preaching is from the Word of God. Communion is twice a month. The White Pine Community United Methodist Church is known for “Reaching out into the community with the love of Jesus.” The church is a people who practice the United Methodist theme of ‘Open Minds, Open Hearts, Open Doors.’ You are invited to worship and to join any of the ministry programs.

Worship Services Sunday School: 9:00 a.m. Sundays: 10:00 a.m. Fellowship immediately after the service Mid-Week Get Real Bible Study Discussion group: Wednesday 6:30 p.m. Communion: First Sunday of every month Mission: The Woodland Church exists to acknowledge God as supreme, to enjoy, cherish and honor Him in order to accomplish His purpose. To embrace the new life in Christ according to 2 Corinthians 5:17, “If anyone is in Christ, he/she is a new creation, the old has gone, and the new has come.” We are a Baptist Church and are affiliated with the Converge Great Lakes Baptist Conference and the Converge Baptist General Conference. We have an open door policy; we welcome and encourage all to join us for our services and fellowships. Our Wednesday night Bible Study is open to everyone. It is led by Pastor Mike and he strongly encourages questions and discussion from the group. The purpose of our studies is to gain a greater understanding of why we (a protestant church) believe as we do by using the Word of God as the ultimate guide for what we adhere to as the Truth. What should I wear? We invite you come to Woodland just as YOU are. We are very casual, some will be wearing jeans and some will be dressed up a bit more. You might find our Pastor wearing a suit or jeans or slacks and a casual shirt. So if you have a funky hair style or tattoos don’t feel like you need to change that or cover them up before you come. Will I stand out in the crowd as a new person or be asked to do anything weird? Rest assured you won’t. We want your time with us to be enjoyable and we will not do anything to put you on the spot, make you feel uncomfortable or cause you to stand out in the crowd. Is there a Nursery and/or Children's Church? A well staffed nursery is available during the service for newborn through pre-K. Children’s Church is a fun way for the kids to learn about many Bible stories. Your children are more than welcome to stay in the sanctuary with you during the worship service as well if you’d like.
