About
Lou Ann Mokwa

Lou Ann was raised in a godly Lutheran home and joined the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod in 1991. In 1984, she obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from Marquette University. Shortly after she retired from a 34-year career as a Registered Nurse and later a Nurse Practitioner, an opportunity to lead women’s Bible study presented itself.

An avid reader, particularly of history, the Bible has been a lifelong fertile ground to fuel her passion for study, and she has participated in numerous women’s Bible studies. Teaching was a natural transition as she now gathers regularly with her fellow sisters in Christ and leads women’s Bible studies at her home congregation, Immanuel Lutheran Church in Waupaca, Wisconsin.

In addition to her books, Lou Ann has been a contributor for Holy Hen House magazine, created the Advent by Candlelight service “Thee I Will Serve,” and contributed to the 2022/2024 Advent Devotional series from WELS Women’s Ministry. Mokwa lives in Waupaca with her husband, Jim, and dog, Sophie. Her daughter, son-in-law, and three grandchildren reside in Nashville, TN.
