Stewardship 2026 – Growing Abundant Faith and Love

At Roseville Lutheran Church, we love God and love our neighbors, continually becoming a community united by grace. We love and care for our neighbors and community.

Together, we have come through many challenges over the past three years. We not only survived, but we have thrived in our shared mission and ministry.

It’s truly a great time to be a part of Roseville Lutheran Church!

To meet the growing needs of the Roseville Lutheran Church community in 2026–2027, an additional $1,042 a week will allow us to:

Nurture a Vital and Lasting Faith

At Roseville Lutheran, we experience growing numbers of families, children, and youth. In partnership with church members, we will help them grow strong in their faith in Jesus Christ and Christian living. To accomplish this, we are increasing Taylor Mickley’s hours as we seek a new full-time Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministry who will provide guidance, direction, and relationship building that will make a lasting impact in young people’s lives.

“I’m looking forward to learning more about God and the Bible at confirmation while reconnecting with friends made on the Duluth service trip and at Camp Wapo.”

– Thomas Dickinsen

Create Deep Relationships of Love and Support

Loving God and loving our neighbors leads to deep relationships. We will engage in fellowship opportunities for the members and visitors of RLC, with warm hospitality and care in times of sorrow and joy through funeral luncheons and special meals. A new full-time Hospitality Director will make this a reality.

“For me, hospitality begins with a greeting. Whether it is a warm welcome to worship, serving coffee and treats on a Sunday morning, or a warm meal following a funeral, caring for God’s children is hospitality at its best.”

– Pam McCulloch

Provide Inspiring Worship and Music

Worship stands at the center of Roseville’s ministry. Your generous support will enable us to provide inspiring worship and music for everyone who participates in our worship services: our members, guests, and those who join us online.

“Great preaching and great music, that’s what keeps me coming back to RLC. That’s what makes me invite friends, and sometimes even strangers, to check it out.”

– Marybeth Hatteberg

Sustain and Maintain Ministry Excellence

God blesses Roseville Lutheran Church with wonderful staff who work in partnership with the lay leaders and members of the congregation, serving our members and neighbors in community as we seek together to Love God and Love our Neighbors. Sustaining and maintaining our ministry excellence requires financial support for fair and competitive salaries, increased insurance costs, resources to grow our staff, and the maintenance of our facilities.

We are both grateful and grieving that Pastor Marty has received a new Call at Nativity Lutheran. We thank God for his ministry among us and wish him all of God’s blessings. As we say “Godspeed” to Pastor Marty, we will also be working with the St. Paul Area Synod to identify an interim Associate Pastor to work alongside us in this time of transition. The Church Council, with the guidance of the synod, will establish a task force to review and assess our ministry needs and then form a Call Committee to begin the search for our next Associate Pastor.

Your continued, generous support will help us sustain and maintain our excellent ministries here at RLC. Thank you for your support!

Your Gifts Make Our Ministry Possible!

During the Annual Appeal in October and November, we ask all members to provide their Intent to Give over the coming 12 months. We rely on member financial gifts to support and sustain our day-to-day ministries, including worship services, Christian education and faith formation, community ministries, hospitality, staffing, communications, building maintenance and utilities, technology and supplies, and more.

Please fill out the “Statement of Intent” form you received in the mail and either bring it with you on Commitment Sunday, November 8, or return it to Roseville Lutheran Church by Thursday, November 5.

“When I think about giving to the church, (I know) our time and resources go directly to help others.”
