Mission Support: The lifeblood of the ELCA

Maybe we should say, “God’s work. Our hands … and our money!” Church is not and should not be all about money, and yet financial resources are necessary to accomplish the important work God calls us to do in our communities, our nation and the world. Mission Support that flows from congregations to synods and to our churchwide organization funds the ministries we all value so highly.
