Through the Solus Christus Art Exhibition, we aim to give WELS/ELS artists an opportunity to glorify God with their artistic gifts, to beautify the new Chapel of the Christ, and to enhance worship through the visual arts. We thank you for celebrating our new chapel with us and for supporting ministerial education at MLC.
