This organization expresses God’s love by offering hope and enriching life for those in need, provides grant funding benevolence to Lutheran ministries and services in our community. One hundred percent of your Lutheran Charities gift directly benefits those served by their funded ministries and agencies - their administrative costs are fully underwritten, thanks to charitable legacies. Lutheran Charities envelopes are located in the narthex, you can donate through tithe.ly, or you can mail your check to the church office. Thank you!
