- Mission Statement -
The Task Group mission is: To provide assistance to rostered leaders and members of
congregations desiring a deeper awareness of the presence and action of God in their daily lives.

 

Please visit the following pages

- Who We Are -

Books

We believe in an omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient God who is at the heart of our mission statement. This Deity is in us as well as all matter around us.

Our Spirituality Task Group desires to reach out to and assist all people in the ELCA, and all others, who search beyond traditional ways to enhance their Spirituality.

We are here to provide - those who seek - with ways and means to develop closer relationships with God.

Our hope is that the retreats and other programs we offer will enable those, who are seeking, to have that closer relationship with God.
