Affiliated ministries are independent organizations comprised of WELS and ELS members that share WELS’ mission and values. They work alongside us to support gospel ministry, but they manage their own operations and finances. WELS is not directly involved in their day-to-day work or financial decisions—our connection is based on shared doctrine.

Being listed in the WELS Yearbook simply means these ministries align with our beliefs. It does not imply endorsement of how they’re run or guarantee their financial health.
