Message from the Bishop
Dear ministers of The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ingria,
The ministry of our Church keeps going forward as we do new projects that enable us to share the will of our Lord with our flock. At the same time, it is impossible to accomplish the goals and objectives of the Church without necessary funds and material resources. Aware of that, the Central Office of The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ingria is establishing a new department—the Project Support Department, which will serve to raise funds and find resources that will be used to meet the needs and accomplish the goals and objectives of the ELCIR congregations.
Andrei Bratchenko is appointed head of the said Department. You can contact the Department at elciraising@gmail.com
If your ministry has material needs or you are doing a project that needs additional finances, please send an info letter to the head of the Department stating your need(s). The information you send will be reviewed at the nearest meeting of the Bishop’s Council. The work of the Project Support Department is raising funds for the Church’s ministries and projects.
Ivan Laptev, Bishop of The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ingria
