Types of churches in Baraboo

Contemporary Churches in Baraboo

These congregations emphasize modern worship with bands, multimedia, and practical teaching. They draw young families and commuters along the Highway 12 corridor and newer neighborhoods near South Blvd and West Baraboo, often pairing casual services with service projects along the Baraboo River and local trails.

Historic & Liturgical

Baraboo’s older congregations gather in century-old sanctuaries around the Courthouse Square and downtown’s tree-lined streets, featuring stained glass, pipe organs, and structured liturgy. They attract multi-generational Sauk County families who value reverent worship, church calendars tied to the seasons, and neighborhood outreach in the historic core.

Spanish-Language & Multicultural

Reflecting Sauk County’s growing Latino community and seasonal workforce in hospitality and agriculture, some congregations offer Spanish-language or bilingual services. These churches often host ESL classes, family support, and cultural celebrations, with gatherings convenient to apartments and workplaces on the south side and along the Highway 12 corridor.

Churches in Baraboo for Students

Ministries here serve UW–Platteville Baraboo Sauk County students and Baraboo High School teens with rides to services, midweek small groups, and mentoring. Schedules flex around athletics, theater, and seasonal jobs at Devil’s Lake and the Dells, and many meet near campus or within walking distance of downtown for coffeehouse-style gatherings.

Sermon clips from Baraboo churches

46s
“Will you kill the stuff that's killing you? Will you kill the stuff that's killing you? We gotta stop flirting with stuff that's harming the things and the people that matter the most. Man, I was talking to somebody a couple weeks ago and then the same conversation, same conversation within like two three minutes of each other. Words are divorced, spouse hates his guts. Talk about he probably spent about a thousand bucks on stuff for his lawn, but hasn't been on a date of months and refuses to go to counseling. Why are you spending more money on your lawn than you are your wife? Like that's just stupid.”
50s
#HeIsRisen
“Boy, there's a lot that you can get from that sentence. Where do we go to get life? Because there's a lot of things that lead to death. Why why are you looking here in the grave to find the living? He is not here. He has read the last word with me. Risen. We we should be excited about that. They were frightened until they learned the truth. Jesus was alive like he said he was gonna be. On the third day, you tear down this temple, and on the third day, it'll be made again, talking about himself.”
58s
#ResurrectionEvidence
“Our society has a penchant for forensic examinations. I don't know if you've watched any of those shows that have, you know, they delve into the body to find proof and let it speak for the deceased. Such proof often means the difference between acquittal and conviction. The following reading is probably the closest you could get to a forensic examination about Jesus, but you would not do it to a live person. That itself is the evidence that they could touch Jesus because Jesus lives bodily and that's what Jesus promises to us. They knew that it was him because of the scars that were on him. They saw him eat. So this wasn't a ghost through which food would have fallen. Who would believe this?”
33s
#ResurrectionVictory
“The devil wants you to be tripped up. The devil wants you to keep going back to the same he doesn't he doesn't want you to read the rest of first Corinthians 15, which says, where, oh, death is your victory? Where we just think about that. Right? Where, oh, death is your sting? Oh, in Christ, through the resurrection, the power of God, the power of Jesus Christ in us, we have victory. We have victory over sin and death, and the enemy can be resisted. Right?”
38s
#FaithNotMagic
“She was supposed to be looking for what he had promised her, that Jesus Christ was risen. And Mary went to the tomb to see the source of her pain, and what she found was the source of her hope and her salvation. Friends, if we look to the church, if we look to religion, if we look even to our faith as some sort of Harry Potter magic to solve our problems with the wave of a wand, we will not find what we're looking for because we're not looking for what we need.”
42s
“We swap places, we swap shoes, it's the great reversal. Jesus became part of an earthly family, so we could become part of an eternal family. Everything switches and everything changes. On the cross he punishes sin while preserving us the sinner. And Jesus absorbed every ounce of wrath that was meant for all all of us because of our sin in our life. And what I've discovered in life, there's a lot of fruit inspectors out there. On church world, people call it fruit. They're like, they see what you do and then they go, oh, this is who you are based on what you do.”
32s
“There should be a hope there. If we don't have hope in eternity, what do we have? And it's not based on my works or my deeds or me being a good enough dad on a Saturday. It's based on the death and the resurrection of Jesus. Our hope is God's glory is that Jesus is coming back. It is the great reversal. And as I think it's something that we kinda miss in in Christianity way too much, That when we put our faith and trust in Jesus, we get his righteousness and he takes our brokenness.”
22s
“Choose today. Choose for yourself to make up your own mind. What Joshua was saying is like, the rest is up to you. He goes, I'm gonna do this. The rest is up to you. I've led you. I've tried to teach you. I've tried to lead by example. I've tried to do everything I can. But you guys don't come out with a remote control and either do I that somebody is controlling for you. You have to make up your own mind.”
55s
#ResurrectionMustChangeYou
“Because here's the deal. Be really honest. If Easter Sunday and the resurrection doesn't change you on Monday and Tuesday, it's meaningless. You just did another religious ritual, and you could've just stayed home, and you could've got a head start on E. D. Ham. And I know that may sound like crash, but it's just true. It's not about knowing it up here, it's what I did here. And unless it changes you in here to change this and this, it's meaningless. Easter Sunday, the resurrection should change how you treat people at school on Monday and on Tuesday, and at work on Thursday, and your kids this afternoon. And if it doesn't, you've missed the entire point of the resurrection. You missed everything.”
47s
#CalmAndPlannedResurrection
“The fact that Jesus was folding clothes shows us that he wasn't freaking out. This was his plan all along for all of history. He was like, I got this. I'm gonna be cool, calm and collected. This was planned long ago. And t Wright puts it this way, Jesus isn't rushing. Jesus isn't fleeing the scene of a crime. Jesus is simply finished with death and calmly moving forward. This is not a chaotic escape. This is an orderly departure. Jesus is tying up the grave because this has been the plan of God since the foundation of the world. He's had a lot of time to think about this and now to calmly act exactly like he had planned to do so.”
