Women of the ELCA (WELCA)

Messiah's chapter of the Women of the ELCA (WELCA), chaired by Jill Becker, are a community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Members of WELCA commit themselves to grow in faith, affirm their gifts, support one another in their callings, engage in ministry and action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, the society, and the world.

From organizing craft fairs and pie baking fundraisers, taking up collections for organizations in need, organizing receptions and hosting a Summer Picnic and Christmas Party, WELCA is at the heart of so much we do at Messiah Lutheran Church!
