The Southwestern Texas Synod’s "Synod Library" is located in the LutheranMinistryCenter on the campus of TexasLutheranUniversity. The center is open to all congregations, their committees, task forces, or disciples (lay or rostered) who seek teaching resources, information on educational or mission needs. It is open the same hours as the synod office for browsing or to check out available resources.
TO SERVE THE CONGREGATIONS IN THE SOUTHWESTERN TEXAS SYNOD AS A CLEARINGHOUSE FOR INFORMATION ON RESOURCES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE CENTER OR AUGSBURG FORTRESS.
THE VISION:
TO GATHER AND PROVIDE MATERIALS OR INFORMATION THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH ELCA AND SYNOD MISSION STATEMENTS;
TO SUPPORT THE MINISTRY OF CONGREGATIONS WITH EDUCATIONAL, WORSHIP, AND MISSION NEEDS;
TO FACILITATE OR DISTRIBUTE THE CIRCULATION OF PRINTED, DIGITIZED OR AUDIOVISUAL MATERIALS THAT IS IN THE SYNOD LIBRARY OR THROUGH THE RECYCLING OF SURPLUS RESOURCES BY CONGREGATIONS.
SHARE YOUR GIFTS: The Synod Library encourages churches with current material on Christian Education, worship, stewardship, or any other topic that is no longer needed in their own congregations to share it with others in the synod. Send information on any excess materials available for distribution and Synod Library staff will gladly attempt to find a sister church that can use it. Do not mail the material to the Synod. The preferred method is to email the contact shown below and they will have any interested congregation contact you directly. The material can then be mailed directly to the church that needs it.
