Mission: Cultivating Your Calling

Vision: Nobody Journeys Alone

Coaches connect dreams to concrete actions that create change for individuals and congregations.

The ELCA's offices are located on the ancestral homelands of the Peoria, Bodwéwadmi (Potawatomi), Myaamia (Miami), Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Sioux), Hoocąk (Ho-Chunk), and Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo) tribal nations. We give thanks for their presence here since time immemorial.
