Celebrate the ELCA Fund for Leaders with your congregation on Sunday, 8/14/2022

Twenty-five years ago, our church’s leaders took a bold step and invested in the future by creating the ELCA Fund for Leaders (FFL). Since then, FFL has been providing scholarships for talented and passionate seminary students. In honor of the 25th anniversary of FFL, we are hosting the first-ever Day of Giving on Aug. 16. All gifts to FFL will be matched dollar for dollar until we reach $25,000.

You can help us celebrate by lifting up this important ministry in your congregation on Sunday, Aug. 14. Here are resources you can use in your worship services and church communities:

You can find these resources and more at ELCA.org/FundforLeaders25. Also, be sure to check Facebook and Instagram for new FFL stories on Aug. 16. Thank you for helping to spread the word! Freeing our future pastors and deacons from the burden of student debt remains one of the most important tasks before us as a church.

In Christ,

Marissa H. Krey
Director, ELCA Fund for Leaders
