WELS Ministry of Christian Giving works on behalf of the Conference of Presidents to encourage every WELS member to “excel in the grace of giving.” To do this, we assist with the gathering of Congregation Mission Offerings (CMO). We also work to encourage direct gifts to WELS, or individual mission offerings, above and beyond congregational offerings. We do this through mailed appeals, coordination of special offerings, and with the help of WELS Christian giving counselors.
