Through a formal convenant, Gloria Dei is a partner congregation with Lutheran Campus Ministry (LCM) at The University of Iowa, led by Interim Campus Pastor Sarah Goettsch. LCM is about students in mission, growing in faith, expanding their horizons, and being the body of Christ on campus and in the world. Students at the University of Iowa engage one another with the Gospel through:
Weekly fellowship suppers and intimate worship experiences
Spiritual retreats to explore new avenues of faith
Regular service to the church and wider community
Raising money for world hunger and global missions
Encountering Scripture in light of current realities
Global mission experience, i.e. Spring Break in Nicaragua
Participation in the local chapter of Phi Beta Chi (Lutheran sorority)
Active involvement with Gloria Dei Lutheran Church and other area congregations
Lutheran Campus Ministry is not only being the body of Christ on campus right now, but also is training leaders and evangelists and pastors and teachers and missionaries for tomorrow. Contact Pastor Sarah Goettsch for more information.
