News & Updates

A church dedication is a milestone in the life of any mission congregation. Research shows when a mission has its own church building, membership grows at double the rate of a similar congregation in temporary, rented space. WELS Church Extension Fund plays a key role in making these milestones happen—case in point is Myrtle Beach South Carolina.
