Ministry
At Edmonds Lutheran Church, ministry is how we live out our call to love and serve our neighbors. From Annie’s Kitchen and community partnerships to music, the learning center, and advocacy, our ministries reflect a shared commitment to hospitality, justice, and meaningful connection. Both within our congregation and beyond our walls.

There’s a place for you here
You don’t have to have it all figured out. ? Whether you’re ready to jump in or just beginning to explore, there are many ways to connect through ministry at ELC. Join a group, lend a hand, or simply show up, we’ll meet you where you are.
God’s Work, Our Hands
From preparing meals and making music to learning, serving, and advocating, our ministries reflect the many ways we show up for one another. Each space offers an opportunity to connect, contribute, and be part of something meaningful.
Actionable Advocacy
Part of our Social Justice and Community Outreach Programming. Rhythm-Based Community Building Event. Focus on creating Relationships with our Neighbors and Hyper-Local Communities that can support one another
Community Garden / Pea Patch
Each season, we invite individuals, families, and neighbors to take part by tending their own garden plots. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener, a weekend hobbyist, or just beginning to explore, this is a place where learning is shared, growth is celebrated, and community naturally takes root.
Annie’s Kitchen | Wed 5pm Weekly
What began as a small act of hospitality has grown into a thriving community meal, now serving over 100 people each WEEK. Annie’s Kitchen is sustained by an incredible team of cooks, prep crews, servers, gleaners, and volunteers who make this ministry possible week after week. As we celebrate 25 years, we give thanks for the many hands and hearts that continue to nourish our neighbors and build community.
Living Water | 3rd Sun’s Monthly
Through our Living Water Ministry, in partnership with Trinity Lutheran Church, we come together to support access to clean water for communities around the world. This shared work connects us to something bigger, reminding us that even small, collective efforts can bring life, health, and hope to others.
Dine-Out! | 3rd Mondays Monthly
Our Dine Out Ministry is all about connection. We gather at local restaurants to share meals, strengthen relationships, and enjoy time together outside the church space. It’s an easy, meaningful way to be in community, welcoming familiar faces and new ones alike.
Prayer Shawl Ministry | Monthly
In the Prayer Shawl Ministry, simple threads are woven into something sacred. Each shawl is made with prayer and intention, then shared with those in need of comfort, healing, or support, offering a quiet, tangible reminder of God’s presence and a community that cares.
Card & Care Ministry | Monthly
In the Card Ministry & Care Team, small gestures become sacred acts of care. Through handwritten messages and prayerful outreach, we stay connected to one another, especially in times when presence matters most. It’s a reminder that even a simple note can carry love, compassion, and community across any distance.
Learning Center | M-F from 7am-pm
The Edmonds Lutheran Learning Center is a place where children are nurtured, supported, and encouraged to grow into who they are meant to be. Through play-based learning, creativity, and meaningful relationships, we create an environment where curiosity is welcomed and each child feels safe, seen, and valued. ELLC’s Program focuses on whole-child development, supporting the social, emotional, and early academic growth in a way that is both engaging and intentional.
