A Path Forward
Introducing The ELCA Innovation Lab
You are an expert in your area of ministry. You know which systems can be funky and which processes are a little clunky. Whether you’ve got an idea you’d like to try, or a problem you can’t quite solve and don't know where to start, we are here to support you on the journey.
Designed for church leaders, the ELCA Innovation Lab provides collaborative workshops, resources and tools that explore new and useful ways to experience community, justice and love, together.
A world experiencing the difference God’s grace and love in Christ make for all people and creation.
To activate each of us so that more people know the way of Jesus and discover community, justice and love.
