Ways to Support WELS Ministry to the Military

WELS Ministry to the Military serves the brave men and women in the Armed Forces with God’s Word and sacrament. Through a full-time national civilian chaplain, a full-time European civilian chaplain, and more than one hundred Military Contact Pastors nationwide, we provide spiritual support online, via U.S. mail and e-mail, and whenever possible, in person.

WELS Ministry to the Military depends on freewill offerings and grants and receives only modest subsidy from our synod’s budget. Please consider supporting ministry to the military with your prayers, gifts, and involvement.

There are two ways to give online to support the services provided by the national civilian chaplaincy and the European civilian chaplaincy.
