Outreach Ministries of FLC


  • The food pantry

    The food pantry at First Lutheran serves upwards of 450 families each year. Generous contributions of food from the Flint Hills Breadbasket and First Lutheran members and friends allow us to make a real different in the lives of our neighbors. In addition to food staples, First Lutheran strives to provide much needed personal hygiene items not available from Breadbasket. Prayer support and donations are appreciated, and new volunteers are always welcome. 

  • first suppers

    First Suppers is our weekly community meal. We provide a free, nutritious meal to our neighbors every Thursday night. In the past five years, we have served thousands of meals to people of all ages and backgrounds. First Lutheran is a member of Common Table, a coalition of area churches working to organize free community meals. Join us for a free meal Monday, Thursday or Friday at 6pm!

  • first closet

    First Closet is a collection of many different items of clothing that we gather and then give away for free for any in need. There are shirts, shoes, jackets, and many other items that can provide warmth and well being for those seeking a hand.

  • patchwork ministry to benefit fit closet

    Our Patchwork Ministry collects clothing, shoes, hygiene, and cleaning supplies to support the USD 383 FIT Closet and Clothing Exchange, a free program run by the local school district to aid families at or below the poverty level in the area. 

  • crafting ministries (prayer shawl and quilting)

    God gives us each gifts, according to God's will. Some can sing, some can teach, and some can work wonders with their hands. Both the Prayer Shawl Ministry and the Quilters create beautiful pieces to give to someone who might need tangible evidence of God's love. 

  • Lutheran Campus ministry meals

    You are invited to assist LCM in this ministry by providing a simple Sunday evening meal that allows students to assemble together and enjoy good food and Christian fellowship prior to the evening worship. There are many opportunities to sign up and provide a meal August through May.
