New Starts
Together We Start New Churches: Be A Partner!
God’s mission and the work of the Holy Spirit are at the heart of our mission starts.
The Spirit is stirring in our synod. God is calling us to get involved in the work of the mission start of five new churches: Santa Isabel (Latine) and Santa Isabel Ministry to Immigrants in Detention (Prison Ministry) in Elizabeth, Misión Pan de Vida (Latine) in Passaic, Morning Star Fellowship (Korean) in Ridgefield, and Misión Luterana Reconciliación (Latine) in Pennsauken.
Santa Isabel Lutheran Church & Santa Isabel Ministry with Immigrants in Detention are two ministries located in Elizabeth. Santa Isabel is a Latine worshipping community led by Pastor Ramon Collazo

Become a Mission Partner!
Mission Partners are congregations linked together in dynamic relationships to empower and expand this outreach ministry. Through supportive relationship, these congregations share in the excitement of proclaiming God’s love. Mission Partner congregations offer the gifts of prayer, leadership and financial resources to new mission starts. Individuals can also offer prayer and financial gifts over periods of time so that developing congregations can have the resources needed in their first years to establish a firm base as they witness to Jesus and build new communities of faith.
Congregations enter into a mutual agreement with a mission congregation to give and receive Prayers, Presence and Presents - the three P’s of Mission Partnership.
Contact Rev. Maristela Freiberg or call 201 407 6000 to explore possibilities of mission partners with our new evangelizing congregations
