The mission of the Hunger Team is to battle hunger in our community and around the world by volunteering and giving generously to programs that feed those with food insecurity. If you are interested or feel called to this ministry please fill out the interest form.

At the beginning of October we successfully partnered with the Cedar Rapids area CROP hunger walk providing thousands in donations for local and global food assistance, and nearly 1/3 of the walkers!

Next up, we will be packing take home food bags for elementry-aged students. Learn more and sign up here.

The mission of our Hope Team is to bring hope of the gospel and love of Christ to people by tithing to our synod and giving generously to our community, praying for and reaching out to those in our neighborhood, and showering blessing upon the guests whom God brings through our doors.

First Lutheran has had a long connection and interest with the Wellington Heights neighborhood, serving people primarily through the Saturday Evening Meals Program (SEMP) and the summer lunch program in collaboration with St. Paul’s Methodist Church. FLC leadership believes that entering into a shared partnership with the Wellington Heights Community Church will serve the Gospel in many ways, both in supporting outreach into the community, and in receiving the gifts of the Spirt for reconciliation and peace from that ministry.
