Journey Teams are communities of people who are striving to live out ALL the implications of the Gospel. Together, teams will provide a biblical foundation, while leading one another to personal spiritual growth taking seriously Jesus' instruction to go and make disciples. Life groups are about experiencing Life together-through a life of worship, learning, serving, living, and going.
- Men's Journey Team- Brian Schultz
- The Men's Journey Team of Luther Memorial is a group of Christian Men that have created an exciting atmosphere to study the Word. We meet the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month at 7:30 AM, to support each other in our mission to serve others in the communitiy. No matter your age or stage you are in your faith walk, come spend some time with us as we grow, serve, and build each other up with the help of the Holy Spirit.
- Women's Journey Team- Sandy Brace
- Women's Journey Team is a loving group of women of all ages that joins together twice a month for Bible study, service, and social events. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of every month at 10:00 AM & 6:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall. For more information contact Sandy Brace
- Pray Them Home Journey Team- Susan Pierce
- Chances are you know one and chances are it is one of your own children. They are the prodigals. Adults who grew up in the church but who have, for various reasons, turned their backs on the church, their faith and perhaps even God. Many of us struggle with what to say and what to do when faith and God come up in conversations with our prodigals. That’s if we can say anything at all. If this is something that weighs on your heart, please consider joining us. The purpose of this Journey Team is to offer support and prayers for our stray sheep and each other. While we will spend some time looking at resources on this subject, our aim is not to find answers or "silver bullet" solutions. We will meet on the first and third Sundays of the month at 6:30pm. If you are interested in joining us or would like more information, please contact Susan Pierce
