A New WELS Church in the Treasure Valley
Where?
Kuna • South Meridian • Murio Farms
Who?
The Pacific Northwest District will fund and lead this effort. The help of some area WELS members is invaluable for the work and rewarding for the members
When?
Volunteers will work along with Mission Developer, Pastor Randy Hunter, to form a “Core Group” to engage the community and lay the groundwork for calling a pastor, God-willing, by Summer 2027. Our prayer is to begin worship services in Fall 2028.
How can I help?
Mission Developer Hunter will return on Sunday, May 17, to distribute cards with the choices below (1-5) and receive cards back.
- Pray for the effort
- Help with outreach events
- Serve on the Mission Expansion Team
About 6-8 months to plan, budget, research, and communicate with Mission Board - Serve on the Core Group
Commit to small group study, conduct outreach efforts together, personal evangelism, call a pastor and be the first members to launch the new church - Serve on the Core Group until 6 months after launch
Same as Core Group above, but will continue at my current church after launch
