Let’s Talk Money
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is made up of three expressions of church — Congregations, Synods, and the Churchwide organization. Each one supports the others, allowing us to do far more together than we could ever do alone. Through this partnership, God’s love becomes tangible in our neighborhoods and across the world. Every year, the 2.7 million individuals in the ELCA give approximately $1.6 billion in regular offerings to their congregations and worshipping communities.

Join us for twelve sessions of eye-opening stories, lively conversation, and a few sacred surprises of our own. As we put it all together, we’ll discover how our church got to where it is today.
