3 Languages, 2 Ordinations, 1 Mission

Two ordinations in one day at the same service is rare enough, but the service was in three languages: English, Spanish, and Kinyarwanda. This incredible moment shows us the mighty deeds God can do when working with every tongue, every tribe, in every nation, all within our neighborhoods!

AIM exists with a vision to launch 10 new Lutheran Word & Sacrament ministries in the next 10 years in non-Anglo and English speaking contexts. While ministries like these have been growing in the Houston and DFW areas, this is still relatively new.

A Hopeful Vision
A Hopeful Vision

Several churches and leaders have started to work together to realize what a great need and opportunity for a gospel-proclaiming movement like this exists in Central Texas. AIM was launched in July 2025 with the goal of 10 new Word and Sacrament proclaiming ministries being launched in the next 10 years.  

CORE VALUES

MULTIETHNIC

Our primary focus is to share the Good News of Jesus with groups that the Lutheran church has historically struggled to reach. This includes the growing non-Anglo and non-English speaking populations.

COLLABORATIVE

We cannot accomplish our goal of 10 new mission starts in 10 years without being in partnership with each other. Through the Five Capitals we trust that each partner brings something unique to the table.

INTER-CULTURAL

We seek an integrated approach to developing new mission starts where people from a variety of cultural backgrounds work together as one ministry. This includes the development of future leaders.

WORD AND SACRAMENT

The ultimate goal of each of our mission starts is to become a Gospel proclaiming Word and Sacrament ministry that reflect their community and can be replicated.
