• Support The Duke Lutherans Year End “Good Courage” Appeal
• Week after week, the Duke Lutherans pray for faith and courage, trusting that even when the way forward is unclear, God’s guidance and unfailing love are sure. The Duke Lutherans are sustained through your prayers, love, and giving. For the past three years (2021-2023) 77% of the ministry’s budget came from individual donations. Your gift enables us to focus on our Spirit-filled mission to be an inclusive campus ministry community of undergraduate and graduate students, called to share God’s gift of life together.
