Admission Policy

Members of St. Stephen
We warmly encourage all members to make use of our school, so that children may grow in faith and knowledge, drawn ever closer to Jesus, our Savior.

Members of other WELS churches
We invite and warmly welcome our brothers and sisters in Christ! We are privileged to assist in educating children from our sister congregations.

Non-WELS families
St. Stephen Evangelical Lutheran School is part of the ministry of St. Stephen Evangelical Lutheran Church. Its primary purpose is to provide Christian education for children under our spiritual care, or from congregations in fellowship (doctrinal agreement) with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. St. Stephen also seeks to do mission work by serving families who may be interested in the Word and Sacrament ministry of St. Stephen Evangelical Lutheran Church. Non-WELS children may be enrolled if:

1)The parents agree to complete the Bible Information Class within one year.
2)The children are willing to be instructed, and will not oppose or undermine the Scriptural teaching offered in our school.
3)The Board of Education approves, reviewing each case at lease annually.
