Principally, First Lutheran Church provides global mission by our benevolence dollars distributed world-wide through the ELCA.
Our congregation has continually participated in missionary efforts through the work of the ELCA Division of Global Ministry. Currently, we have been supporting through prayers and financial assistance a missionary in Chile, Karen L. Anderson. Karen serves on the staff of Popular Education in Health (in Spanish, EPES) and helps design, launch and direct its international training course, which explores the role of the church in the struggle for health and human rights. EPES works to build a sustainable health care organization dedicated to promoting the health dignity and rights of the poor in Chile.
