God bless you as you love, heal, and engage like Jesus!
Thank you for the faithful and intentional Mission Support, your benevolence giving to this synod, that you entrust to us for God’s mission in the world. We also distribute a portion of your gifts to the ELCA— to share the Good News of grace through Jesus Christ across the country and around the globe.
Thank you for continuing such steady and strong mission support, especially in a time when there are so many needs and opportunities.
What are we doing together, right here in the NEPA Synod with your gifts?
- We support new pastors and deacons. Join us in thanking God for the 14 candidates discerning calls to public ministry and the 10 rostered ministers welcomed into our synod to serve ministry sites in 2024-2025.
- Together, we work on Growing Young. Check out the link to find out about the 6 Core Commitments for living as a Jesus-centered community!
- Our newly launched Licensed Lay Ministry formation process seeks to support the mission happening in local congregations. Congregations in the NEPA Synod brought forward 34 LLM entrants. Discover more here: LLM.
- Because of your mission support, we get to try bold experiments like 6261.
- Gaining Strength cohorts give deacons and pastors training in fostering collaboration and practice in innovative ministry skills.
