Benevolence
Through faithful member giving, Messiah supports the Lebanon Rescue Mission and Agape Shelter for Women, native mission work through Independent Church in India, national and global hunger and disaster initiatives, and the mission of the Atlantic Mission Region and the national expression of the North American Lutheran Church.
The congregation has a longstanding policy of tithing regular contributions for benevolent purposes beyond the congregation.
In addition, the congregation has supported a number of specific compassionate endeavors as special needs come to light. We understand the wealth entrusted to us to be a God-given tool through which we become instruments of God’s love in the world.
