Fellowship Ministry
Coming Soon!
Outreach Ministry
We put our beliefs into action by sharing God’s love with all people and helping those in need. Focus areas include: welcoming visitors, integrating new members, supporting the surrounding community, supporting the global community, and communication. Service projects are scheduled throughout the year.
Women of Abiding love
All women of Abiding Love are created in the image of God. We are called to discipleship in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, and support one another. We are called to action to promote healing and wholeness in the church, the society, and the world. The Women of Abiding Love come together for study, support, fellowship, and outreach. It is out hope to create space for all women in the congregation and any women who subscribe to our purpose. For more information, please contact Di Brophy. 512-748-9984, [email protected]
Austin City Lutherans/Mariposa Family Learning Center/Bread for All
Austin City Lutheran congregations, including Abiding Love, opened Mariposa Family Learning Center in 2020 to serve the East Austin area as a child care facility. Abiding Love continues to provide valued funding and volunteer support to Mariposa, which serves children regardless of their families’ ability to pay for care and learning opportunities. Mariposa is open to infants, toddlers and preschoolers on a twelve-month basis. For more information about the child care facility, check out MariposaLearningCenter.org.
