GIFT (Growing in Faith Together)

Passing on the Christian faith involves a partnership of generations, individuals and families.

GIFT is the acronym for Growing in Faith Together.


GIFT events provide an opportunity for people of all ages to explore God’s love for them by sharing the gift of each other and the gift of faith. We encourage congregations to host a GIFT event once a term. We have developed a kit of suggested activities and templates that you can use, these include worship and event ideas, intergenerational activities and take home sheets for families.

MARTIN LUTHER

Who is Martin Luther and why is he so important to Lutherans? God's great gift is his Word. Throughout its history the Christian church has had to struggle to proclaim and teach the truth of God's Word. Toward the end of the Middle Ages (in the 15th and 16th centuries), serious false teachings and abuses had developed in the church. God in his grace chose Martin Luther to be his servant for a most important work: the reformation of the church.
