FROM CHURCHWIDE

We Are Christians Against Christian Nationalism

The ELCA is committed to the common good – not for the good of Christians first – and to working with and learning from others. An overview of Christian nationalism from a Lutheran perspective is presented in this ELCA resource with background and discussion starters to seed conversations as we face this distortion of our faith and divisive force in our country.⁠

From Words to Action!

May 5 is the National Day Commemorating MMIW.

Use the Truth and Healing resources the ELCA has provided. Your worship service can include prayers for those who are missing and their families. Wear Red, use your social media to lift up the issue to those in your community.

We have an on-going average of 90+ Indigenous people who are missing, according to the WSP.



Thank you for your consideration.
