How you can help
The mission and purpose of The AALC can easily be found in Article V of our Constitution: “… that the Triune God may be more fully known among men through faithful ministry of God’s word and Sacraments.” This commitment to Christ’s Gospel has been expressed as the “Missio Dei” – the Mission of Christ. Here in our Church body, it has been communicated as “Keeping the Fort” and “Taking the Frontier.” Every congregation is an outpost from which God’s people are sent forth with Christ’s commission of Kingdom expansion and Gospel proclamation. Our Association remains committed to this faithful endeavor.
One of our “fortresses” for Kingdom expansion – Mountain View Lutheran Church of Thornton, CO, was recently given to The AALC. Although operations are currently paused, it is the hope of the local congregation leadership to “re-launch” under the Association’s guidance a new ministry outpost to that community.
The Commission on American Missions (CAM), along with the Mountain View re-launch team, has been praying and working to see this come to fruition. We have a new budget in place and a facility ready to host the new parish. But we need your assistance to hold this frontier and be a gospel lighthouse to this community.
We appeal to you as a member congregation of The AALC, to join us on this journey, as we seek the Lord’s will. Our goal is to raise $100,000 each year, for the next three years, to get this re-launch off the ground. With your commitments and resources, a man called by God to serve Mountain View could be in place, as monies would now be available to cover a pastor’s salary and building expenses for the next three years. (There is no debt on the property.)
How can you be a ministry partner on this project?
We are prayerfully asking each of our congregations of this Association to become a Congregation Sponsor, committing $1000 each year, or $250 per quarter, to this new ministry. Through your generous gifts, you will be a vital part of a renewed Word and Sacrament ministry outpost to the Thornton, CO area. This re-launch will be “taking the frontier,” proclaiming Christ Jesus to people lost in this broken world, offering them hope through the Gospel message we have been entrusted to proclaim.

Yours in Christ,
The Mountain View Re-launch Team
