The Grand Canyon Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) has a goal to raise $500,000 by 12/31/2023. The appeal will equip our synod in three key initiatives: financial viability, future ministries, and fervent voices.

Gifts of support will plant seeds for a new generation by growing in generosity, expanding and strengthening our ministry, connecting people, and creating possibilities for all the people of God in the Grand Canyon Synod and beyond.

For complete information, please read PDF and watch the video. Thank you.

We were privileged to have Solveig Muus, Director of Lutheran Advocacy Ministry Arizona, as our guest for the ULC Open Forum on Sunday, October 17, 2021. Amazing presentation of what Lutherans and the Grand Canyon Synod are doing to promote specific legislation in the State of Arizona. Also present were our own Ruth Wootten and Carl Mangold who work tirelessly in promoting specific issues.

Solveig is encouraging everyone to join in two specific events.
