Outreach Ministry
Faith Lutheran is involved with the following ministries at our church or in the community. To volunteer with a particular ministry, please contact Pastor Kiri Solberg at 763-755-3530 or pastorkiri@faithlutherancr.org.
Social Ministry Committee meets the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm at church. At these meetings we share a bible devotion and pray for the volunteers in the ministries and the persons they will serve. Planning for the ministries then takes place following the time of prayer or at other times. If you are interested in participating in this time of prayer and devotions, please contact the Social Ministry Chair Loralie Christensen at 763-755-4464.
