Helping Others
Our congregation’s worship extends beyond the walls of our church through our mission work. From youth to seniors, we are proud to make a difference in the world through the power of God’s love. As we are drawn more deeply into the abundance of God’s love, we long to share generously with others. Our partnerships in mission are local, regional and international and not only help those in need, but unite us in common bonds of humanity.
Mission of the Month: Each month, a portion of our collected offerings is given to the chosen organization of the month.
In addition, we donate 5% of our collections are given to the Greater Milwaukee Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Our outreach missions in 2019 will be…
The Year of Hope
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit! (Romans 15:13)
