There may be ELCA churches with more members, but LCM’s average attendance of 160 per week is the highest in the surrounding area. This is a blessing and reflection of the great work this faith-led fellowship has accomplished. As a result, the number of requests for pastoral support increase and having to choose between the work of the church and the support of its members is a constant challenge. By developing more talent within LCM more requests for support can be addressed and church business responded to in a timelier manner.
