Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
Matthew 28:19
While our main mission is to preach the Word and deliver the Sacraments to the people here at Christ Lutheran and the surrounding area, we also support several outside ministries. Each month we tithe our General Offerings. $2500 goes to support our District and the Synod (which goes to Camp Luther, missionaries, Pastor education, and more). The remainder each month goes to another organization.
We also support Pastor Matthew Wood who is serving the Church in Indonesia (find out about his work here) and one seminarian training to be Pastor. Besides the tithe, we also do various collections for local and international organizations.
Here are the organizations we are supporting in 2026:
January - LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces & Veteran’s at King
The Wisconsin Veterans Home at King is a long term and rehabilitative care facility caring for veterans, a veteran's spouse, the surviving spouse of a veteran, and Gold Star Parents (parents who have lost a son or daughter in combat).
The LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces supports all LCMS chaplains who serve on active duty, in the reserves, the National Guard, Civil Air Patrol, and Coast Guard Auxiliary. LCMS chaplains deliver Word and Sacrament ministry to our military personnel and their families.
February – Central WI Lutheran High School
This is a brand new Lutheran High School opening in Plover. It will serve the Central WI area. With a target opening of Fall 2026, they will be open to enroll grades 9 and 10. Grade 11 will be added in the Fall 2027, and by the 2028-29 school year, they will serve grades 9-12.
March – Feed My Starving Children
Christian organization that relies on volunteers to put together food packs to send all over the world to feed children. It costs less than 25 cents a meal. A MobilePack event is usually held in Marshfield every Spring.
April – LCMS Missionaries – Pastor Matthew Wood
The main priority of a missionary is to bring the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ to people who have never heard the Good News. LCMS missionaries usually share that Good News in the language of the people they serve. When the Holy Spirit begins to gather people into Christian fellowship, missionaries assist these new Christians in forming their own indigenous church leaders.

KFUO and Issues Etc are both Lutheran radio stations that can be listened to live or on demand. They do Bible Studies, talk about current events, and teach the faith.

October – Camp Luther
Camp Luther is a year-round camp located in Three Lakes, WI. It is a ministry of the North Wisconsin District. Several of our youth attend every year and we occasionally have Confirmation retreats there.
November - Lutheran Bible Translators and Rawhide
