How can you help?
Pursuing Excellence Under the Cross is our long-range strategic plan for preparing the next generation of called workers for your congregation through your WELS College of Ministry. You can be a catalyst to help realize a generational vision for our future called workers.
PRAY for God’s continued grace to increase the number of future teachers, pastors, and staff ministers.
SPREAD THE ENCOURAGING WORD about your WELS College of Ministry by scheduling an MLC Sunday at your congregation and by encouraging any women and men you know who have gifts for ministry.
