The Mission of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League is to assist each woman in The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod in affirming her relationship with the Triune God so that she is enabled to use her gifts in ministry to the people of the world.

Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML)

As soon as Lutheran women arrived in this country, they began to use their gifts to sew altar paraments, care for orphans and the needy, and support hospitals. Even then, women were in mission using their gifts and abilities to serve God and His people.


In 1942, the formation of a national LWML was encourage by our synod. The motto  "Serve the Lord with Gladness" was adopted. It's first mission project was for Christ Church for the Deal in Cleveland, Ohio, in the amount of $15,000. One of the most important lessons to be learned from these early LWML members was their continued reliance on God for guidance and their commitment to spreading God's love in their serving.

Nationally, we gather through our "mite boxes", our free will offerings given from out loving hands and grateful hearts. This is our response to God who reached out to us with the gift of grace through Jesus Christ.

From Trinity, 100% of these mites are sent quarterly to the Michigan District LWML office, 75% of these mites stay in the Michigan District for mission projects and 25% are sent Internationally for those mission projects.  Click here to subscribe to the Michigan District LWML newsletter.

Our local LWML meets monthly for spiritual growth and to sponsor such mission projects as Operation Christmas Child, Right to Live roses, Birthday Cakes for Eagle Village, Congregational Birthday Party, sponsor a Seminarian, and a Book Display featuring religious cards and materials just to name a few.
Every member over 18 years of age is encouraged to join. Please contact Marge Giese (231) 832-2171 for more information.
