Sem Ride 2014: Concordia Compact

Concordia Compact

Years ago Grace established the Concordia Compact, a vehicle to acknowledge and support young people considering and pursuing ministry vocations either as Lutheran pastors, teachers, deaconesses, or other professional parish workers. Grace also established separately the Grace Endowment as an avenue by which donors may fund a legacy of support for the ministry of Grace, Auburn. Dale and Sharon Pickelman are one wonderful example of those who have utilized the Grace Endowment to give enduring support to those pursuing ministry vocations. Such are the gifts of which Revelation speaks, "Blessed indeed .... for their works follow them." (Rev. 14:13)
