Rise Up Team
In 2021, the Hawley Lutheran Church Vision Council commissioned the Rise Up Team to embark on the task of assessing our current ministries and facilities, with our know, grow, go mission in mind.
The guiding question leading this team became:
‘Would our community notice if we closed our doors?’
Through prayerful dialogue and assessment, the following goals were developed:
Refreshing Spaces
Kids and Youth Ministry Places
Welcoming Faces
As a result of the Rise Up Team’s assessment, the Church approved the start of a capital campaign and Now Is The Time launched on September 10, 2023.
We are a member of Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ.
