All advocates of equipping God’s saints for ministry (Eph. 4:12) are welcome to participate, regardless of their affiliation with the ELCA.
Each expression of the church is urged to develop approaches that make the Life of Faith initiative central to its mission.
The purpose of the Life of Faith initiative is to stir up a culture change that frees us to make the service by the baptized in the arenas of daily life the central focus of the church’s mission.
This initiative seeks to intentionally focus congregations on the many and varied forms of service to neighbors through family, workplace, school, local community, and world. Each expression of the church is encouraged to develop approaches and resources in order to make the Life of Faith initiative a vital part of its reason for existence.
