WELCA
Women of the ELCA is the women's organization of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. This network of nearly 500,000 women exists for mutual support and bold action on participants' faith in Jesus Christ.
Our mission is to mobilize women to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ.
You are invited to attend any of the Gather Bible studies, circle meetings and others events sponsored by WELCA. Events are listed in the weekly bulletin, monthly newsletter, and found on this page.
St. Peter Women of the ELCA carries out its purpose through three mission areas:
Mission Community......is first and foremost concerned with relationships - relationships that include self, God, family, other persons of faith, the global community, Women of the ELCA units and potential participants.
Mission Growth.............nurtures spiritual growth through enabling and encouraging women to share the good news as disciples of Jesus Christ in their daily lives. It also provides opportunities for each woman to identify her own gifts and leadership skills.
Mission Action...............is about being in direct servant roles. We act to ensure that all people have access to human needs, equality, justice and safety.
