Welcome
Welcome to our website! SELC District LWML is one of the two non-geographical districts. SELC was the Slovak Evangelical Lutheran Church until being accepted into LCMS in 1971. In the 1980’s, the SELC District women organized into the Lutheran Women’s Missionary Organization. We became a non-geographical district of the LWML in 1987. Our LWML is divided into three zones. Eastern, Central and Western each meet once or twice a year along with the biennial district convention. There are 26 LWML associated societies in seven states from Florida north to Pennsylvania and west to Illinois.
The SELC LWML has provided funding for mission congregations for signs, altar ware, paraments, hymnals, media and other equipment for pre-schools and various mission outreach endeavors. Along with twenty-five percent of our mites going to national, twenty-five percent is also returned to the zones for projects. Zones also give annually to The Lutheran Haven in Oviedo, Florida.
The women of the SELC Show Everyone Life in Christ by Showing Everyone the Love of Christ especially when “Serving the Lord with gladness”.
“And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love
mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8
