Our History
Why We Call Them TRAINS
Congregations that participate in the Lutheran Pioneer Ministry are chartered and called TRAINS (we needed to call them something rather than just “group”, and TRAIN relates to our heritage). Trains are assigned a Train number that is theirs from then on. Should the program become dormant for a time and then reactivates, the same Train number is used as before.
Membership in the Lutheran Pioneer Ministry involves a base fee for each Train. This fee is used solely for the expenses of running the organization, which includes the necessary insurances, web hosting, postal expenses, software, etc. The organization has no employees, and no physical location.
Buying any item from these stores does NOT provide ANY financial support to Lutheran Pioneers. Logo gear is made available as a way for all of us to promote Lutheran Pioneer Adventures. LP does not take a cut. We are trying to keep your cost down so that you will use the logo gear and promote Lutheran Pioneer Adventures.
