At the Synod Assembly we made an impact in congregations throughout the Gulf Coast Synod through the Synod Assembly Offering. So far we have raised over $41,000 of our $50,00 goal! That's amazing. Thank you to all who took part.

What does that make possible? A Lay School that trains leaders. We have heard a deep desire for training in the youth ministry, rural ministry, stewardship, Latino ministry. Lay leaders yearn for biblical and theological training. It's not too late to give. Give now!

 

 

In 2024 the Gulf Coast Synod will expand our impact. With an increase in Mission Support of $60,000 in 2024, we will sustain our strong ministry while significantly investing in leaders for God’s church. Through a lay school, we will raise the preparation and capacity of leaders in our congregations. We will ensure that our existing rostered leaders have excellent continuing education opportunities. We invite your congregation to return your Mission Support Estimate so we can immediately implement these priorities.
