Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary (WLS) is a post-secondary school that trains men to become pastors for the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). It is located in Mequon, Wisconsin. The campus consists of 22 buildings, including a library that has over 58,000 volumes and a collection of rare pre-18th century theological books.
St. James began in 1916 as a mission church based in the vicinity of the current building. In 1917, the church operated out of a small chapel near the intersection of 54th and Pabst Avenue (now Lloyd Street). Some time later, the mission was relocated to the southwest corner of 60th and Lloyd, across from the Synod's Seminary.
