In addition to our local interests, we support many national causes, including the following:
Bike & Build is an organization that send groups of people on cross-country biking trips to build affordable housing. We support their effort by hosting the bikers while they are in Athens and giving to their cause.Relay for Life is a life-changing event by the American Cancer Society that celebrates the lives of people who have battled cancer, remembers loved ones lost, and fights back against the disease. We send a team to this event every year to join the fight.Lutheran Services in America coordinates the work of nearly 300 independent Lutheran health and human service organizations.Lutheran Disaster Response brings together the energy and efforts of Lutherans to respond to natural and human-caused disasters in the US and its territories.In partnership with 10,000 other ELCA congregations, we suport 9 seminaries and 15 colleges across the US.
