Welcome,
We represent the women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America's Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod. We have 126 churches from Schulenberg, Texas, then east and to the northernmost churches at Lufkin, Texas and Slidell, Louisiana. |

PURPOSE STATEMENT
As a community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, We commit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in callings, engage in ministry and action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, the society, and the world. |

The symbol -- with the cross, water and a white lily -- identifies the women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America as children of God; baptized, forgiven, adopted into God's family, full of grace and hope in eternal life. It is a reminder of the growth, beauty, and vitality that rises out of that life-giving baptismal water. It is also a reminder of the mission of the church to "Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19). |
