Welcome to R2W!
Return to Wittenberg (R2W) is an organization sponsored by pastors and laymen affiliated with congregations of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) and Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS).
Our organization offers conferences and worship aimed at providing encouragement, instruction, and community on the basis of a shared love for Christ and the teachings of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church.
R2W 2027: Vice & Virtue
We are pleased to announce that our 2027 conference theme will be "Vice & Virtue," as we build on the themes of our 2026 "Return to the Heart" conference, which emphasized the justifying Blood of Christ that purifies our hearts and restores communion with God (Second Article matters), by focusing on the Third Article and our lives of Christian Sanctification through the lens of the classical dichotomy of vices and virtues.
The conference will take place October 14-17, 2027! We will be returning once again to the beautiful lakeshore campus of The DeKoven Center in Racine, WI. Stay tuned for more details!
