Mission & Outreach
Local Outreach
Necessities for Neighbors is our local outreach program to help our neighbors in need. Each month, we distribute toilet paper, laundry detergent, feminine hygiene products, and diapers to over 300 local families.
Several times per year, Peace Lutheran members have the opportunity to worship with members of St. Dysmas of South Dakota, an ELCA congregation located within the South Dakota State Penitentiary.
Feeding South Dakota is a hunger relief organization, fighting daily to eliminate hunger in this state. Most importantly, they’re now doing it with Peace’s help!
Global Missions
Peace partners with the village of Jumelle, in Haiti – the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Each year a group from Peace travels to Jumelle to build relationships and share God’s love with one another. On a recent trip, the group built benches for the church and led Vacation Bible School for the children, telling the story of Holy Week.In addition, Peace has helped to fund a cooperative rice mill that produces enough revenue to pay the teachers at the school associated with our partner congregation. In Haiti not all children have the opportunity to go to school, and through this project children have the chance for an elementary-school education, regardless of family income. Meals from Kids against Hunger are used for school lunches.Find more information at Helping Hands for Haiti and Kids against Hunger.Contact [email protected] for more information.
