Mission Statement

The Metro Milwaukee Lutheran Mission Society shall work in partnership with churches, social agencies and other Christian-based organizations in an effort to renew and strengthen urban neighborhoods and Lutheran Churches in the Greater Milwaukee area and beyond.

  • Action
  • Function
  • Responsibility

To this end the mission society shall:

  • Initiate and support ministries that effectively meet the needs of our urban communities, neighborhoods and residents
  • Solicit, receive and administer gifts, grants, funding and contributions for charitable and/or other religious purposes
  • Make distributions to organizations that are exempt under Section 501c3 of the IRS revenue code
  • Take any action or engage in any purpose that the not-for-profit mission society deems appropriate in their response to the Great Commission and that are lawful under the laws in the state of Wisconsin
  • Focus on reporting, the needs, activities and programs of our churches—that focus on the ministry of the lost and un-churched
  • Secure resources and funds for other partners' unique ministry and mission

The three main functions that the mission society provides are to serve as:

  • An administrator and generator of funds and resources for specific mission and ministry projects and programs so that they (mission, church, agency, etc.)  may concentrate specifically on their role and function through their program or project
  • A manager or project coordinator so that the program/project that is being funded meets its objectives and goals in a timely manner and receives the funding that it needs
  • A collector, evaluator, and disseminator of data as it applies to meeting the goals and objectives of the program and for use in the replication of similar ventures to assist and reach out to those who need such services and support

In short, the mission society's responsibilities are reduced to:

  • Administrative accountability and generation of funding
  • Reducing redundancy in both form and function of ministry
  • A flexible system for feedback and evaluation of its program
