Giving Opportunities

Undesignated Giving

Support the ministries and new mission starts of the Gulf Coast Synod and beyond.

Designated Giving

  • Bishop’s Discretionary – Support emergencies, leaders in crisis, congregations in need, or other unforeseen expenses.
  • Campus Ministry – We are currently supporting campus ministries in Houston, Brazos Valley, and Louisiana.
    • Please note in the memo line which campus you would like support.
  • Companion Synods
    • Central African Republic – We are committed to leadership development in partnership with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Central African Republic (EEL-RCA). The church is growing faster in Africa than anywhere else in the world, yet its resources remain scarce.
    • Peru – The Peruvian Evangelical Lutheran Church (ILEP) does not shy away from announcing God’s word and denouncing injustice when and where needed. ILEP responds prophetically to the many injustices that impact impoverished, mostly forgotten, Peruvians.
  • Disaster – Help us prepare for and respond to natural disasters both within our synod and globally.
  • ELCA World Hunger – Creatively and courageously working toward a just world where all are fed.
  • LEAD – The synod gave birth to this leadership organization that equips leaders and churches with coaches, immersions, and resources.
  • Live On (Endowment Fund) – This is a mission outreach fund for use within our synod. Income earned on the permanent investment is granted in May and November to those who apply and qualify for grants.
  • Lutherhill – Our summer camp and year-round retreat center is a great place for youth and adults to explore God’s world and word.
  • Missionaries – ELCA missionaries need your prayers, support, and gifts to help them succeed in their work throughout the world.
  • New Missions – We are committed to investing in new and renewing missions, congregations, and spiritual communities.
