Congregation Mission Offerings
Our congregations carry out the Great Commission both locally and by joining together as a synod to reach “all nations” by training, equipping, sending, and supporting workers in the U.S. and 45 other countries. Our Congregation Mission Offerings (CMO) are the main source for funding synodical ministry.
Please note: The cutoff date for remitting 2023 CMO was Monday, January 8, 2024. Subscriptions for 2024 are due Friday, February 2, 2024, at noon (Central).
How long can I keep the form open before submitting?

How were congregation mission offerings in 2022?
2022 offerings totaled $23.33 million. This was $833,000 more than projected receipts and $654,000 more than 2021 CMO. We thank the Lord for his people’s generous gifts!
