Mount Carmel Lutheran Church - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Family Ministry family camp 2005

Helping families grow in their faith life together is what Mount Carmel Lutheran Church's Family Ministry program is all about. The goal is to assist parents to be the primary faith builders in their children's lives, with the church as support. Group Events, small groups, family service and educational opportunities, and a variety of resources are provided to meet this challenge. Mount Carmel is family-friendly!

For information about any Family Ministry opportunities, please contact Diane Roznowski at (414) 771-1270, ext. 17, or e-mail her at droznowski@mountcarmelchurch.org
