Outreach

OUTREACH

The goal of our outreach ministry is compassionate outreach.
We are deeply committed to intentionally planning and organizing ways
to reach out to the world and our community, both with our "second" offering
received the last Sunday of each month, as well as "hands-on" service.
These efforts help support local, statewide and world-wide needs.

LOTM is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) that gives
5% of its regular annual budget to the world-wide ministry of the ELCA.
