RMMCs hold meetings

LCC’s three Regional Mission and Ministry Councils (RMMCs) held meetings in September 2023.  The primary focus of each meeting was the discussion of congregation and ministry applications for financial assistance for 2024. 

Meeting on September 21 (West) and September 30 (Central and East), the RMMCs spent considerable time considering applications in light of projected funds available as reported by LCC’s Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Dwayne Cleave.

Financial assistance applications may be submitted by congregations for support with regular ministry activities as well as special mission projects or ministries. Applications are evaluated using a three-tiered criteria of support for: existing Word and Sacrament ministry; outreach efforts leading people to Word and Sacrament; and works of mercy.

Additionally, each RMMC has formed a domestic missions committee to support and promote existing missions within each region along with identifying new mission opportunities.

RMMC members are elected at the synod convention which is held every four years. Since the elections held in June 2022, there have been changes to RMMC membership. For an updated list, visit LCC’s website here.
