Proudly affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS)
There are a few different groups under the title Lutheran: As a part of the Wisconsin Synod, we subscribe to the Book of Concord as recorded in 1580. The WELS formed in 1857 and has grown steadily since. As a church body, all 1,200 individual congregations come together to support global evangelism, compassion, and mission efforts at a scale no single entity could accomplish alone. We also participate in a unified ministerial education system that prepares pastors and teachers for full-time service in our churches and schools.
Serving Colerain Township, Fairfield, & surrounding areas with PreK-8th grade.
Also located on Pippin Road is our PreK-8th grade school. Beautiful Savior Lutheran School offers a safe, caring environment with a family atmosphere. Students enjoy the blessing of teachers who are trained to teach all subjects with Christian love, and the knowledge that we are God's children. At the same time, we challenge our students with a rigorous course of study. Our students consistently have high test scores and are well prepared for high school. Many of our graduates enroll in advanced classes in high school.
Reaching out with the gospel in the city: newly launched Oakley location
Sometime in 2016, Beautiful Savior began discussing the idea of opening a second site. After many prayers and years of planning, Pastor Jacob Ungemach was assigned from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary to begin work in earnest in the Oakley & Hyde Park neighborhoods near downtown. In late 2025, Beautiful Savior Oakley held their first worship service. Since then, they've been blessed to welcome many new faces to hear about their Savior.
Beautiful Savior is one church in two locations.
Visit Oakley for worship sometime soon!
