Lord of Love’s Mission Statement:
Created by God’s gracious love, we are called, as a community of faith, to be witnesses and servants of Jesus to the world.
We are fortunate to have members who have a passion to serve others and to energize our congregation in support of mission. Through our outreach activities we seek to use the gifts that God has provided to us to aid those in need and to Christ to other’s.
Our Mission Possible team meets regularly to identify needs within our community and beyond. They look for ways that we can use God’s gifts to best serve those in need and select a focus for our mission funds and activities.
At this time, our significant outreach and mission activities are:
– Loads of Love – our congregation providing laundry care, personal hygiene, and paper products to those in need 3 times per year
– Community Garden – a congregation tended garden that provides fresh produce to Project Hope
– Bob Kasworm – a member serving in Tanzania with Alegent Health Systems
– Habitat for Humanity – ongoing participation in the Ecumenical Labor Force Coalition
More details on the mission activities of our congregation are provided in the sub-pages of this section.
