Mission Trip #50

Our next Mission Trip is now scheduled with a two-week window of opportunity for volunteers beginning on Sunday, April 19, 2026, thru Friday, May 1, 2026. Volunteers can sign up for week 1, week 2, or both weeks, R & B costs are $200.00 per week. Anyone interested in learning more about volunteering or with further questions/details, should contact Mike Bultemeier at (260) 438-0948.


Our very first Mission Trip took place in August of 2006 after Hurricane Katrina. We had three people, Lee/ Phyllis Bienz and Mike Bultemeier who went to New Orleans and worked for Zion Lutheran Church, located in the Garden District. We accomplished what was asked of us and have continued to do mission trips over the years, this one being our 50th. Praise God!

Volunteers Needed: Mother's Day Carnation Sale

Senior Saints Planning Committee


We have an incredible group of people who put together a phenomenal array of speakers, entertainment, and field trips every year. They are such a fun group which meets occasionally to plan future events, menu, and decorations. They're looking for some new people to join their team.

S'NO'W MORE SNOW!


Yes, it feels like we've already had enough snow for awhile, but if we're honest, we know this winter might bring more of that pretty, fluffy white precipitation our way from January thru March. We have a service that plows the parking lots, and wonderful employees that shovel during the week, but we need your help if the snow falls on a weekend so we avoid paying staff overtime.

Online Greeters Needed


We're looking to expand our list of online greeters who serve during our 10:30 livestream worship services on YouTube. It's a really cool way to connect and welcome people worshiping with us online. If you'd like to know more about this unique opportunity to serve the church, reach out to Art Wenzel or contact the church office. We'd be happy to get you connected to Art.

Sanctuary Care Crew


We have several incredible teams of members that rotate different jobs throughout each month to keep our Sanctuary and the surrounding area clean and ready for worship in our most sacred space. Recently, one of our teams had to step down from running the floor machine, dry mop, and dusting. If you're interested in being part of this amazing set of people who care for God's house behind the scenes, fill out the form through the button below and our coordinators Devon & Alicia Weaver will reach out to you.
