Seward Peninsula Lutheran Ministries

Six ELCA congregations serve Alaska Natives, five on the Seward Peninsula (Brevig Mission, Nome, Shishmaref, Teller, and Wales) and one in Anchorage.

These Christians maintain skills and disciplines brought forth from antiquity but also struggle with modern society's most challenging problems. They exhibit a strong faith and express a great love for the church and one another.

Living a "subsistence" lifestyle with few paid jobs, they are only able to support their congregations to a limited extent.

In order to provide supplemental funding, the Seward Peninsula Lutheran Endowment Fund was created within the ELCA Foundation. Your gifts will support pastors' salaries, provide heating in the cold of winter, enable children and teenagers to attend Bible camp, provide Christian education materials, etc. Your gifts will ensure the long-term survival of these vital, vibrant ministries.
