We Are WELCA

What is WELCA? It’s an easy way to say Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Quite a mouthful, we know.

Our organization includes Lutheran women who gather in over 7,000 locations in the U.S. and the Caribbean, for service, study, advocacy, fellowship and more!

WELCA embraces all kinds of ministries that support our mission of mobilizing women to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ.

There is a place for you in Women of the ELCA.

Celebrate our 25th!

We are celebrating 25 years of mobilizing women to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ. We've been busy creating a just world, supporting global sisters, bringing about health and wholeness, to name a few things! You can continue our mission today by making a gift to the 25th Anniversary Appeal. Every dollar goes to support Women of the ELCA (50%) and the ELCA Malaria Campaign (50%).

Make an online gift today (pick "25th Anniversary Appeal" from the drop down menu). Or send your check to Women of the ELCA, PO Box 71256, Chicago, IL 60694-1256 and write "25th Anniversary Appeal" on the memo line.

Use this flyer in your unit to invite others to give generously too.
