The Lutheran Radio Church Service is a radio broadcast program structured in the form of a liturgically-based Lutheran church service. Under the auspices of The Radio Committee, this program is a collaboration of Milwaukee-area churches of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) and Milwaukee-area churches of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). The two groups alternate Sundays, with each group providing 26 programs each year.
The Lutheran Radio Church Service has been broadcast each Sunday on Radio in Milwaukee, Wisconsin since February 19, 1928. The Founder of The Lutheran Radio Church Service is Mr. A. J. Beyer. It was his vision, in the early years of radio broadcasting, that this medium could provide an opportunity for his aging parents, and others who were no longer physically able to regularly attend Sunday church services, to be given a means to worship from their homes. Dr. G. Christian Barth, then President of Concordia College in Milwaukee, consented to assume the duties and responsibilities of becoming the program's first Radio Director. Thus was born The Lutheran Radio Church Service.
From its inception in 1928 to 1953, The Lutheran Radio Church Service was a live broadcast, with participants broadcasting live on Sunday mornings from the WTMJ studios. In 1953, an agreement was reached to pre-record the programs for playback on Sunday mornings. The recording of these programs continued to be done at WTMJ's studios. In 1989, with a re-structuing of the studios at WTMJ, recording locations away from WTMJ were required. The LCMS recordings are now made at Trinity-Freistadt Lutheran Church and the WELS recordings are made at Wisconsin Lutheran College. you can listen to The Lutheran Radio Church Service on WJYI JOY 1340-AM www.joy1340.com.
