The point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. - 2 Corinthians 9:6-7

2026 Stewardship Campaign is Underway!
From Foundation to Future

“From Foundation to Future” connects the generosity of previous generations to our current Mission priorities, just as our generosity will inspire future generations to share the love of God in Christ Jesus.

Thank you for being an integral part of First Lutheran Church and for your ongoing support of our congregation’s ministry. Congregations that maintain the strong Foundation established by our past members, while embracing the call to the Future Mission of First Lutheran, learn to celebrate the gifts that are already present, realizing they are sufficient to be Christ’s Church here and now.

We’re now into the time of year when we ask those of us with treasure to share to prayerful consider completing an Estimate of Giving for 2026. Every Estimate we receive helps your Budget Committee and Council develop the budget recommendations that are presented for approval at our Annual Meeting in January. We encourage everyone who can to provide an estimate, including our many members who give electronically.

Thanks in advance from your Stewardship Committee: John Oppenlander, Mary Hall, Milenda Powers, Pr. Garrett Struessel
