LCC Missions: What’s in the works?

ONLINE – Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC) Missions webpages are expanding! More information on both LCC’s International and Domestic Missions is being added to the website on an ongoing basis, in an effort to enhance awareness of the work we do together as a synod across the country and around the world, as well as to make these details more accessible to our members and to the public.

As Christians, we have been blessed with the greatest of treasures: Christ and His saving gifts. And we have also been entrusted with the means by which we can share this treasure with others: the holy and life-giving Word of Christ, the very instrument the Holy Spirit uses to create faith when and where He pleases.

We share the Word of Christ as individuals in our God-given vocations and as a church body in our teaching, practices, and mission activities. In these settings, the Holy Spirit is at work, calling, gathering, and enlightening unbelievers through the proclamation of the Gospel and drawing the faithful into the sacramental life of the Church.

It’s important that LCC members and beyond have access to pertinent details about the theological education initiatives, humanitarian works of mercy, and other endeavours that are happening across our Synod and around the world. It is our hope that providing more accessible information on LCC missions, both international and domestic, will serve not only to improve awareness but also will encourage and motivate our members in our walk together as a church body in Canada.

Below you will see a list of LCC Mission sites and partner organizations that are currently linked through the new LCC Missions webpage. This list is not exhaustive and more information and locations are being added and updated continually. The eventual goal will be to have an interactive Mission Map on the website. Work on that is underway, and we look forward to sharing more developments with you in this new year!
