The WELCA (Women of the ELCA) group at Long Lake Lutheran is the umbrella group for many of the women’s ministry groups throughout the congregation.  All women on the membership of the church are members of WELCA and are welcome to participate in any of the service events and fellowship opportunities available at the church.  The WELCA women do quite a lot of service and housekeeping around the congregation, as well as service to and for the community.  Each subgroup of WELCA has their own focus, but their main focus is praising God through service and fellowship to their neighbor.

There are so many ways that the women of Long Lake Lutheran are involved in the life of the church – and they would love to have as many women involved from the congregation as possible.  Please contact us if you have questions about any of the groups or would like more information about a particular group.
