Mission Impact
Mission Partner Focus
Geneva Lutheran is increasing its mission impact and sharing Christ’s light by engaging community organizations! In 2021, we gave $75,000 to organizations that offer healing and encouragement, making the Tri-Cities such a special place to live and serve. We are designating 2% of our budget each year to continue to multiply the impact of our generous congregation and will also serve by sending volunteers to work alongside these groups. Check back often for updates on the organizations we are serving and how we continue to impact our community.
