2024 ELCA Annual Report Covers and Pages: Reflecting God’s Majestic Love in Action

Discover how God’s love is at work in the ELCA through the 2024 Annual Report Cover and Pages, available in two PDFs (download version 1, download version 2).

From local congregations to synods and the churchwide organization, the report offers a vivid picture of ministry in action—fueled by the generosity and faithfulness of Lutherans across the country.

In her opening letter, Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton reflects on Psalm 93: “More majestic than the thunders of mighty waters… majestic on high is the Lord!” Bishop Eaton reminds us that God’s love calls us to share it through word and deed. Stories of transformation abound in this report: a mother feeding her family and neighbors through her garden’s bounty, young adults finding community in a disconnected world, and individuals returning to church after years away, guided by the Holy Spirit.

A key highlight of the report is the impact of Mission Support, the portion of offerings that helps nurture Christian community, raise up leaders, serve neighbors, and strive for justice. Through these collective efforts, our church’s mission is carried forward in powerful and life-changing ways.

As we look to 2024, let this report inspire your faith and action. You can explore the full report online and see how your generosity helps build God’s kingdom here on Earth. Visit LivingLutheran.org/SOFIA for stories and details on how your support is transforming lives.
