Military Services-This is the oldest committee in terms of continuous activity. Synod’s work among military personnel began long before the Special Ministries Board was established. Even though there was no formal synodical program pastors in certain areas were called upon to serve as camp or contact pastors. At the turn of the century, for example, Pastor Paul Brockman of Waukesha, Wisconsin served as a camp pastor at Fort Douglas in Utah.

During World War I there was complete cooperation among the members of the Synodical Conference as they provided spiritual services for members in the military. By mutual agreement WELS paid one fifth of the cost.

How our Synod has carried on its ministry to members in the Armed Forces

From its beginnings until the First World War our Synod had no formal ministry to the military. One pastor, Paul Brockmann, before and later minister of Trinity Lutheran Church in Waukesha, Wisconsin, was an officially commissioned chaplain at Fort Douglas in Utah for some five years at the turn of the century. It is not known if there were others-relations between pastors and congregations and the Synod were more free and easy in those times than they are today. During America’s involvement in World War I, 1917 to 1918, there was complete cooperation between our Synod and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod in the task of providing for the spiritual needs of young men from congregations of both synods; both were members of the Synodical Conference, working together harmoniously.
