Mission

In the fall 2007 we are planning to enter the "Mission For Others" leadership program run by the Eastern Synod.  Our mission page is under development .. meanwhile ... here are  some of the things we  are involved with and  working  on  in our role  in Mission for Others.

Mission Statement

This mission statement was developed in 1999:

Built on the Rock of Jesus Christ, we strive to be an inclusive & caring community of faith in action dedicated to the regular worship of God & service of people everywhere, providing a safe haven of love & fellowship and nurturing spiritual growth beginning with children.

       Listen to a sermon on this mission statement.

Outreach Committee

Recently we have re-established an Outreach Committee tasked with developing ways to be in mission to the local area and beyond.  More details are available from the pastor.

The following are some of the some the mission projects that we are activly supporting from our St. Peter's community.  Other projects we support but are not highted here include:

• GHDA
  

Lutheran Association of Missionaries and Pilots

This a group of pastors and pilots who fly in to northern communities to do their ministry.  St. Peter's supports LAMP's ministries regularly by giving the  loose offering on the 3rd Sunday of each month.

Monkton Community Growing Project

This is a project supported by individuals and some of the churches in the Monkton, Brodhagen and Logan areas. St. Peter's, Brodhagen, is committed to supporting this Canadian Foodgrains Bank project. Some of the members of our congregation volunteer on the executive committee, provide land, time and energy for the project every year. Read more about the Monkton Growing Project.

Olive Branch For Children

The 150th Anniversary Committee has selected the “The Olive Branch for Children” organisation as our year long service project.  This organisation assists children in the Mbeya region of Tanzania who have been orphaned by the ravages of HIV/AIDS or have been born with HIV/AIDS.

In 2008 The Olive Branch is planning an irrigation project to help the local communities grow their own food efficiently and effectively. As a farming community we know, only to well, the necessity of water for food production.

Deborah McCracken, who conceived The Olive Branch and is its representative in Tanzania and the heads of the Iwambi Evangelical Lutheran Orphanage, came to our congregation on 10th February 2008 to share her experiences and discuss with us how we can help. This is a very exciting project for The Olive Branch and is also an exciting project for our farming community congregation.

Dan has joined us for worship and told of his hope and prayers for starting an active Youth For Christ ministry in the Mitchell area.  He is current volunteering part at the Mitchell Distric High School.  We are supporting Dan's mission work to the young people of Mitchell and invite you to contribute prayers and financial support for his encouragement.
