Act

 “I will show you my faith by my actions.” James 2:18

You are God’s hands in the world. Your actions make God’s love real to those in our community. The church is the body of Christ, built on the time, talents, and gifts of many. The blessings you have received are abundant gifts from God to be shared. People of all ages are called to serve.

What gifts will you share? What inspires you or gives you a sense of purpose? Augustana offers many ways for you to put your faith into action, inside our walls, in the local community or around the world.
