Cooperative Outreaches

In addition to outreaches particular to Faith Lutheran, groups and individuals from Faith also band together with others to help in our community and beyond. For those who are interested, there are many ways to join in efforts to assist materially and spiritually for those who are in need. Below are a few of our efforts to share God’s love:

Local

There are many opportunities for helping locally. Faith Lutheran participates in the schedule of Sunday services at Transitions Healthcare in Sykesville, with several members from Faith Lutheran planning and leading a worship service once a month. Other members from Faith take part in the Good News Jail & Prison Ministry, visiting and conducting worship services for men and women in Carroll County’s detention center.

Groups and individuals from Faith Lutheran are involved with our neighbors in various “helping hands” projects throughout Carroll County, such as Habitat for Humanity, providing food, clothing, shelter and more for those in need.

National

Each summer, young people and their leaders from Faith Lutheran join with other churches around the county to participate in the Lutheran Servant Event. These teens, college students and adult leaders grow spiritually and bond with each other as they travel to areas of need within the United States to repair homes for the elderly, disabled and others who are unable to do so for themselves.

International

Faith Lutheran is a supporter of My Refuge Christian Ministries in Belize, Central America. We often provide and drive busloads of clothing and needed materials to their location in Belize City for distribution to the poor in that area. Faith’s members also travel to Belize to distribute eyeglasses, complete building construction and improvements at their Christian radio station compound, and conduct marriage seminars, Vacation Bible School and puppet shows for the Belizean people. Our mission teams, including children, teens and adults, have enjoyed exploring that area of the continent, including adventures such as “cave tubing” on their “r & r” days.

Faith supports other national and international mission efforts through monetary contributions and prayer support.
