Please know you are welcome to visit us anytime you have a need!

   Our congregation has a Women’s Ministry group that meets throughout the year for special events such as Ladie’s Night Out and other fun gatherings.
   The men’s group is called First Lutheran Men. This group raises funds for a number of causes including:  Bibles for Cradle Roll Graduates and 3rd graders, as well as scholarships for Bible Camp and Youth Retreats.

   First Lutheran Foundation was established in 2009.  This foundation board, which consists of 5 members, meets on a semi-annual basis throughout the year.  They deal with large gifts and memorials given to the church and distribute those gifts as needed throughout the church, the community and the world. Contributions allocated according to these guidelines: 25% to Endowment (only interest can be used); 25% to First Lutheran programs; 25% to community projects; 25% to Missions. Professional advice available through ELCA. Contact your tax advisor for State and Federal tax benefits. Contact Foundation board members for more information: Bruce Hirchert, Jeanette Perleberg, Dori Tollefson, Amy Perleberg, Richard Carlson.  Please remember First Lutheran in your Estate and Financial planning!
