Marco Lutheran Church Foundation’s mission is to spread the Love of Jesus and be a beacon of light throughout our local Community, our Nation and across the Globe. We believe the Bible’s teaching in 1 Thessalonians 5:5 “All are children of the Light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.” This Light brings Hope and Joy to those who don’t know that JESUS is the Light of the World.
Marco Lutheran Church and Marco Lutheran Foundation understands as believers we have a unique opportunity to be intentional about spreading the Gospel of Jesus throughout the World through the grant process. Marco Lutheran Foundation continues to be blessed with donations from many donors who want to see the needs of all people be touched by the Good News of Jesus Love for them. If you would like to donate to the Marco Lutheran Foundation through a financial gift, legacy gift or to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world, please contact us from this website.
