As a community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit; we commit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage in ministry and action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, society and the world.
Through WELCA membership, the women of Gloria Dei articulate and act upon their faith, value themselves and others by building up and celebrating relations, and participate in learning experiences to promote strength for each woman as a whole person. We prepare and send Lutheran World Relief health kits, school kits, Christmas Cheer Baskets, Greeting Cards and other community activities. Through Church Women United, Cluster 7 Meetings and funeral receptions we fulfill mission community. Retreats, Bible study, and women’s Sunday help us grow in mission.
