The Church Worker Care Team is a group of fellow church professionals who the LCMS Northern Illinois District has asked to be available to come alongside fellow District church workers during a challenging time in their lives, in order to provide them with a listening ear and spiritual support.
The Church Worker Care Team was formed to give our church workers currently serving congregations, schools, and ministries someone to whom they can speak who is a fellow church professional and can be that safe and spiritually caring colleague to provide support during a challenging time.
The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod’s Office of National Mission has fully funded these respite retreats to support, encourage, and strengthen all teachers, commissioned ministers, and pastors. To learn more about these retreats and to register visit doxology.us/take-heart.
Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Since church work is rooted in Baptism and a lifetime of hearing the Word, SAS encourages young people to consider church work vocations, primarily through their continued and faithful involvement with their congregation. Learn more about the LCMS church work recruitment initiative at lcms.org/set-apart-to-serve.
Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF) provides services available to anyone connected with our LCMS churches and schools. Go to the national LCEF website to learn about investment and loan opportunities, StewardAccount financial services, ministry support, and more. You may also speak with our local LCEF VP, Joe Willmann, to learn more.
