Community Building
The Psalmist writes, “How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity.” (Psalm 133:1, NRSV). This unity is a gift to us from God the Father, empowering us through the Spirit to “live love with the grace and courage of Jesus.”
The people of the Nebraska Synod support and work through several agencies whose mission includes building up our communities.
