Pastors Rose and Joe are part of RoseThorn’s story of faith and service in Manitowoc.
At RoseThorn, our church life centers on the Word of God, prayer, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Our vision is to see lives transformed through Jesus Christ and to share His love through practical care for our neighbors.

Our home at 1015 South 11th Street once served as a music conservatory for Silver Lake College. RoseThorn purchased the property in 2013 and began gathering for worship there that year. A building with a history of music became a place for our community’s worship and prayer.
Find your way hereOur foundation
We believe in the Bible as the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. We believe in the TRIUNE GODHEAD of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, was crucified, died, and was buried. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
We believe Jesus Christ was the Son of God, Messiah, Savior, Redeemer, Deliverer; that He came to earth as fully human. We believe His death on the cross once and for all time accomplished atonement for our sins, making it possible for us to receive forgiveness and eternal life.
We believe Jesus rose in bodily form, defeating death, and is currently seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven, interceding for us. We believe He shall return to earth one last time to bring about the fulfillment of the Father’s plans, bring judgment on Satan, and usher in His Eternal Kingdom.
We believe the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Godhead, lives in each saved believer, bringing revelation and power for witnessing, sanctification, and ministry to others.
We believe there are ANGELIC AND DEMONIC BEINGS who operate on a spiritual plane, doing either God’s or Satan’s will but subject to the superior person and position of Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.
Psalm 127:1
