Spirit Alive! Church
At Spirit Alive! we celebrate that God created us to be unique, that Jesus speaks to us in different ways, and the Spirit challenges each of us in new and exciting ways. Whether you were raised in a Lutheran church, come from a different tradition, or have never been to church but feel some calling you can’t explain, you are welcome at Spirit Alive! There’s no right way to dress or right moves you have to know. We come because we believe that God is transforming us and the world. You are welcome here.
Our congregational core values are:
-
Welcoming everyone's full, authentic self.
-
Including everyone in the full life of Spirit Alive!
-
Meaningful, relevant, "come as you are" worship.
-
Reaching out to our community and world.
-
Intentionally Spirit-led/Spirit-driven.
The Spirit Alive! congregation worships on Sunday mornings at 10:45 a.m. at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church located at 8760 37th Avenue in Kenosha. If you cannot join us in person, please join us online via our facebook page at Spirit Alive! Church.

Spirit Alive! is a part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) and a Reconciling in Christ Community. That means we are welcoming to all people, and intentionally creating and naming welcoming and safe space for LGBTQIA+ peoples. If you’ve ever been told by a church God doesn’t love you for who you are, you will find safe space at Spirit Alive!
We create intentional, worshipful ways to share our welcome, inclusion, and celebration of people of all ethnicities and backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expression during our worship. During these unprecedented times, now more than ever, it is important to create an inclusive worship space for our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual/aromantic (LGBTQIA+) siblings in Christ.
First, please consider this an open invitation to join us at Spirit Alive! for worship or other events. We love meeting new people, hearing how God is at work in their lives, and dreaming of ways to walk the road of faith together.
Feel free to check out this website to learn more. If you have questions, just go to the “Contact” tab on top of the page and drop us a note. If you prefer to call, we can be reached at 262-658-2433. Though, honestly, email is faster and more efficient.
That’s enough from us… go ahead… browse. Oh, and if you do pop in on a Sunday morning, whether it be in person or LIVE on Facebook during the service, please say, “Hello!” We’d love to meet you and give you a special first-time visitor gift!
