Holy Cross Mission Support 2026

Each year, the members of Holy Cross vote to provide monetary support (above and beyond our monthly giving to the church) to four organizations.

January—March
“Adopt a Student” (Lutheran Leadership) During this quarter we are collecting offerings for three men in our church who are preparing for ministry. Currently we have: Isaiah, a second year student at Concordia University, Nebraska preparing for Pastoral ministry; Vicar Mark who is working towards his pastoral degree online through Concordia Seminary in St. Louis; and Josh, taking classes to complete his Deacons license through our Pacific Southwest District.

April—June
Dakota Boys & Girls Ranch. “We help the most troubled, complicated, and amazing kids by providing best-in-class psychiatric therapy and trauma-informed care, where we look kids in the eye, walk with them, and help them become their best selves.” Learn more.

July—September
Sunshine Acres Children’s Home Sunshine Acres provides a loving, wholesome, Christian home for children who are separated from their parents and helps them establish long-term relationships with stable parental figures, preparing them for success in adult life. Learn more.

October—December
Member Assistance Fund Our internal Holy Cross community fund to help members in need when times get hard. Rest assured we have worked diligently to improve our processes for screening, approving and tracking given funds so you should feel good knowing that everything you give is supporting someone truly in need.

In addition, our congregation carries out several projects each year to support our local community. Subscribe to our eNews to learn more about specific events and dates.
