We understand that visiting a new church can feel overwhelming, so we’ve compiled answers to common questions to help you feel more comfortable and prepared for your experience at 238 Church.
What happens during a service?
At 238 Church, we host dynamic Sunday services filled with uplifting worship, led by our talented musicians, and impactful teaching from Pastor Jerry or a guest speaker.
Start Time: Services begin at 2:38 PM.
Duration: Each service lasts approximately 90 minutes and includes powerful worship and practical, scripture-based messages.
We know being a guest at a new church can be intimidating. At 238 Church, we prioritize making you feel comfortable and welcome. Here’s what you can expect:
A warm, inviting atmosphere where you won’t be singled out or pressured to give. Vibrant worship, including singing, clapping, and occasionally speaking in tongues, as rooted in scripture. Freedom to participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable.
Relax, enjoy the service, and discover if 238 Church feels right for you.
We meet at DeForest High School, specifically in the South Commons area: 815 Jefferson St, DeForest, WI 53532
Park in the main entrance lot, and follow the 238 Church flags and signs to the gathering space.

I’m Pastor Jerry Lee Simmons. I'm admittedly a little awkward. Introductions can be awkward too, but I’m thrilled to introduce you to 238 Church, here in DeForest Wisconsin. Let’s connect for a few minutes—by phone, in person, or online.
238 Church is unique. It's a place where God is changing lives. I would love to answer any questions you may have and just introduce myself. I can’t wait to meet you!!
