Our related ministries each have unique stories and roles that contribute to the rich fabric of the ELCA. The church lifts up the word of God by working and volunteering with a variety of ELCA-related groups, networks and programs across the country and around the world.
The Lord calls us to join our ministries across geographical and organizational settings. The ELCA works with children, youth, young adults, students, families and parents, leaders preparing for service to God, and older adults and skilled volunteers to build churches from the ground up.
The Lord is present everywhere, and the work of our related ministries shines a bright light that shows the world how to actively engage in the ELCA’s mission.
