Case Tracker

Here we track cases past, present and ongoing.
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

A passion for knowledge.

Knowing how you, your partner, your kids, and your friends will be treated is important in all areas of life – especially religion.

It’s as important to know how they treat child abuse, maltreatment, domestic violence. The WELS says every church of theirs is autonomous. Those churches do pay to be a part of the synod. However, they also need pastors and leaders and called workers from MLC or WLS to lead their church and start parochial schools.
