Mission Focus

Missions:

We believe that as followers of God, we are called to Love God and Love Others. 

One of the greatest ways that we love others

is by acting as the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in the world. 

We strive to grow in love of God and neighbor, 

to reach new people, 

and heal a broken world. 


Lunch Wagon:

This is a ministry of LUMC with over 30 volunteers from the church and the community. Preparing lunches for kids in the community during the summer months for over 13 years, this ministry brought over 3500 lunches to 5 different locations in the summer of 2025.


Mission Trip:

Every summer under the leadership of our Youth and Children's Minister, the youth serve the community and world through hands on ministry with, to and for others. In recent years, they have served people in La Crosse, WI., Benton Harbor, MI., Fredrick, MD., Loveland, CO., North Carolina and West Virginia.


Back to School Event:

Every fall as kids in our community get ready to go back to school, we realize that there are many who need adequate supplies for school. We host a free event where families make an appointment to come, and shop (at no cost to them) for school supplies and clothes so that they may have a successful start to the school year.


Local Missions in Action:

While taking the time to serve others in the wider community, we also help to serve the needs of people within our community. We spend time doing local clean-up and odd jobs for our neighbors, serve the hungry, work with the Local Food Shelf and visit with our seniors. There are so many ways for us to build relationships with others, please join us. 


World-wide Mobility:

For the last 12 years, Charlie and Sandy Hinders have helped to facilitate a place to help to build hand propelled carts for the World-wide Mobility ministry. Throughout the year, they hold fundraisers to help raise funds and awareness of the need as well as host volunteers to work on the carts out of their shop.

Our local missions are here for the sole purpose of helping our community. We take pride in La Crescent, MN and we want everyone here to be safe, full, and warm. Our main local missions focus on the children and youth of La Crescent, but we also have funds in place to help others. We have an Emergency Fund for locals that need immediate help.
