Who We Are

The Martin Luther College Ladies Auxiliary is composed of women who are communicant members of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod and those in Synodical fellowship. Download the Auxiliary brochure.

Our Mission

The MLC Ladies Auxiliary exists to support and enhance student life at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is fourfold:

  • To promote greater interest in Martin Luther College.
  • To promote Christian fellowship among women of WELS and those in Synodical fellowship
  • To give financial support to MLC by supplying funds for needed projects which are not included in the Synod budget.
  • To support MLC and its students through prayer

Our Passion

God’s love compels us! His great sacrifice to guarantee our salvation is a secret we can’t keep. We desire to be a part of the effort to share this message throughout our world and to support those who will spread that good news on our behalf.

How Can You Help?

Be an Ambassador of Martin Luther College! In your home congregation, let others know about the important work carried out at MLC, and ask your members to pray for our ministry. Learn more about MLC and its mission by attending the annual fall meeting. At the meeting, there will be interesting presentations from the MLC Faculty, along with entertainment provided by the students. It’s a day to connect with other MLC supporters, students, and faculty.

Spread the Word about the Auxiliary Projects! Share our annual project list through your congregation’s newsletter, bulletins, and displays. Provide opportunities for your congregation members to adopt a project or help fund one that they like. Use MLC’s bulletin inserts and magazines to promote our college.

Support the Students in various ways throughout the year!

  • MLC Food Bank

    Over the years, many WELS/ELS members have desired to assist our students, especially a growing number of students with families. The establishment of an on-campus food bank provides such an opportunity.

  • Bingo Night

    This highly anticipated event, sponsored by the MLC Ladies’ Auxiliary, is for all MLC students! We are currently asking for the following donations – cash for gift cards, baked goods, and quilts and blankets.

  • Congregational Partner Grant Program

    Congregations and individuals partner with MLC to reduce student debt.
