Programs

Compassion International
St. Paul’s members help Abraham, a young boy in Ethiopia, through monthly donations to Compassion International, an organization that helps needy children throughout the world. The children of the Sunday School send occasional letters, and Abraham responds likewise.

Missionary Rev. Daniel Conrad
St. Paul’s members help Missionary Conrad and his family while he serves in Mexico, training Mexican men to be pastors and deacons and Mexican women to be deaconesses. Rev. Conrad is stationed in Mexico City, but travels extensively to train and to support the existing Lutheran congregations. His work requires the support of many American congregations. Please include Rev. Conrad and his family in your prayers. His monthly newsletter is available on the parish bulletin board.

Seminaries
St. Paul’s members give annually to each of our two synod Seminaries in America, Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri. The monies are sent undesignated.

English District Office
St. Paul’s members give monthly to support the work of the English District of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. The Bishop of the English District oversees 162 congregations, several missions, and two Lutheran High Schools, to name a few, across North America. The English District is the most language-diverse district of the LCMS, using 28 languages to conduct various ministries. The District provides support when congregational conflict occurs, assists in calling pastors when a congregational vacancy occurs, provides guidance for congregational projects and ministries, and ensures doctrinal unity among the congregations of the District.
