Living Christ Outreach
Living Christ has a tradition of responding
generously to support individuals, missions and ministries in the Madison
area and around the world whenever needs arise.
Outreach Descriptions
Living
Christ joins with 11 other Christian Churches in the West
Madison/Middleton area to provide assistance to families in need
including: a food pantry,
senior independence services, used furniture/clothing program, counseling,
job placement assistance. Summer Bible Classes in Northern Canada Each
summer, Living Christ members travel to northern Saskatchewan to conduct
vacation Bible School for a group of native children at Stanley Mission.
This event is done in coordination with
LAMP – Lutheran
Association of Missionaries and Pilots. Gateway Scholarships We offer
grants-in-aid at our Preschool for children of low-income families in our
neighborhood. Garden Plots A portion of our church property is used by low-income
families for garden plots. Living Christ Quilters An active group of women meet regularly to make quilts that
are distributed by Lutheran World Relief throughout the world. Partnerships with Sister Churches outside the United States Living Christ is in fellowship with congregations in Russia, Germany and Guatemala. Several
of our members team up monthly to staff the House of Thrift Store on
Sherman Avenue in Madison. Profits
from this resale shop go to support the ministry of Bethesda Lutheran
Homes. Lutheran Social Ministries in the Madison Area Along with other Lutheran Churches, Living Christ and several
individual members are active supporters of the Dane County Jail Ministry,
the International Friendship Center on the UW campus, a hospital
chaplaincy and the ministry to the deaf at Silent Lutheran Church on
Madison’s East side. Member Support We have an active program of supporting members of our family
by providing meals to those who recently experienced the joy of childbirth
or are recovering from a stay in the hospital.
Similarly, we have a program to provide transportation to medical
appointments or to do shopping for members who would otherwise have
difficulty making the trip.
