What is Mission Support?
Mission Support is the portion of your weekly financial offering that your congregation shares with your synod and the churchwide organization, the other two expressions of this church. As members of the ELCA, we do mission together through our financial giving. We do God’s work in ways that no individual, congregation, or synod can do alone.

Mission Support Plan for 2026
As you pan your congregation’s Mission Support for 2026, will you prayerfully consider growing that Mission Support for the coming year? We are called to join in God’s work in the world using all the gifts God has entrusted to our care. We encourage your church to increase your percentage or level of Mission Support as you begin to make financial decisions for 2026. Whatever amount you share, we are one in our dedication to Jesus, who gave himself for the life of the world. And we are grateful for you.
