Bega Kwa Bega

St Paul Area Synod pastors visiting partners in Tanzania.

 Chisago Lake Lutheran Church is a member of Bega Kwa Bega, through the St. Paul Area Synod, ELCA. Our synod is partnered with the Iringa Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT). In English, the phrase "Bega Kwa Bega" means ‘shoulder to shoulder’, describing the way in which we accompany one another in a spirit of mutuality, inclusivity, and vulnerability. The three tenets of Bega Kwa Bega are prayers, presence, and projects.

CLLC is partnered with the Ilula Parish in Tanzania. Through scholarship sponsorship, periodic programs, and hopefully travel in the future - we are able to walk alongside our brothers and sisters of faith.
