MISSION SUPPORT 2026

The faithful people who make up the congregations of our SWPA Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America endeavor to live lives of generosity and healthy stewardship.

We believe that all we have is a gift from God — ourselves, our time, and our possessions, signs of God’s gracious love for us. We aspire to give back a portion of every gift to God through the hands and feet of our local churches. Our congregations are encouraged to give at least a tithe of gifts and offerings to Mission Support.

We are called to live faithful lives to the bold witness of life-everlasting through our savior Jesus Christ, who sacrificed everything for us and calls us to follow in his footsteps and boldly sacrifice everything for our neighbor. May God work in our hearts and in our congregations to give faithfully so that God’s hands and feet never stop serving our neighbors.

“Our congregations are encouraged to give at least a tithe (10%) of gifts and offerings to Mission Support.” —Synod Assembly 2023
