National Ministries
National Focused Ministries
At Christ Our Savior we seek to support National programs that are consistent with our Mission and Values. Examples of this are contributions to National Disaster Relief Efforts, new Church Planting efforts, attendance at LCMS conferences, support for the Lutheran Center for Religious Liberty (LCRL).
Our National Ministries are described below
Lutherans for Life
The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod and our congregation value life from conception until the end of this life. It is the mission of Christ Our Savior’s Lutheran for Life Team to support the organizations that champion life. Our church has long supported the ministry of the Pregnancy Resource Center (PRC) in Maryville and Sevierville. PRC’s mission is to “minister to the needs of those facing a difficult pregnancy decision with life-affirming alternatives”.
Adopt A Student
The-Adopt-A-Student fund helps finance Seminary Students at the St. Louis and Fort Wayne Seminaries. Christ Our Savior has been
participating for many years! Many we have helped are now ordained pastors in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. The Adopt A Student program is funded entirely by donations. Our church budget also supports the Joint Seminary Fund which is set up to send money to the Seminaries at St. Louis and Fort Wayne. This helps support the seminaries with their many financial needs. Please offer your support by contributing to the fund.
Lutheran Women's Missionary League
The Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) is an official auxiliary of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. Since 1942, the LWML has focused on affirming each woman’s relationship with Christ, encouraging and equipping women to live out their Christian lives in active mission ministries and to support global missions. Our Women’s group at Christ Our Savior collects mites (loose change) from our congregation which goes to support the effort of this National program.
