"Mark out a straight, smooth path
for your feet
so that those who follow you,
though weak and lame,
will not fall
and hurt themselves,
but become strong."
Hebrews 12:13

PathWay is a ministry
of spiritual growth
and stewardship renewal
for Lutheran congregations
that want to grow
|
|
Spiritual growth
God’s people will perceive his vision for their future
and work to bring it to reality when they grow as disciples.
Almost anyone can show you how to raise money;
the question is: do you want true, enduring kingdom growth
to occur in your congregation?
|
|
Stewardship renewal
We believe that a renewal of our
stewardship of God’s resources
is an outcome of spiritual growth.
In the PathWay experience, this
renewal occurs through…
Prayer We partner with your pastors and staff
to teach and model a new reliance on
prayer that is Christ-like
Sacrifice When God’s people are moved
by the Gospel, they respond
with sacrificial giving
Faith The PathWay process
relies entirely on the
Holy Spirit who renews
our faith through Word
and Sacrament

Lutheran congregations
All PathWay staff and pastors are members of Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod congregations. We have conducted capital campaigns in . . .
- over 1,175 congregations,
- 450 schools, and
- 30 high schools
- in 39 states
. . . because Lutheran pastors, educators, and leaders trust that our process is inspired by our theology. Our advantage? We champion stewardship renewal that is inspired by the Gospel rather than compelling people to give “reluctantly or under compulsion” (2 Cor. 9:7).
