Wheat Ridge is "Lutherans seeding new ministries of health and hope in the name of the healing Christ!"

Who We Are and What We Do

Wheat Ridge Ministries is a charitable organization with roots in the Lutheran Church that provides support for new church-related health and human care ministries – and we have been doing so for more than 100 years! It is our desire that all people experience wellness of body, mind and spirit made possible in Christ Jesus.

Wheat Ridge encourages ...

Healthy Communities
Wheat Ridge recognizes Christian congregations as centers of health and healing ministry. We are a resource for congregations who plan to establish new health and human care ministries that serve people in their neighborhoods and communities.

Leaders
Wheat Ridge is dedicated to the leaders serving new health and human care ministries. We value the opportunity to be the place where leaders who are inspired to begin new ministries can turn for assistance.    

Wellness of Body, Mind and Spirit
Wheat Ridge is motivated by the expectation that through the efforts of organizations and congregations we support, people in need are touched by the love of Christ and as a result are living well in body, mind and spirit.

Wheat Ridge Ministries encourages the health and wellness of leaders and communities through its granting, connecting and equipping activities.

Granting: Wheat Ridge supports more than 100 new health-related ministries each year through a variety of grant programs including Major Grants, Congregation Health and Hope Grants, Good Samaritan Grants and Special Short-Term Grants.

Connecting: Wheat Ridge is a catalyst for the development of new ideas. We celebrate opportunities to bring together people from different disciplines to address common interests in developing new ministries of health and human care.

Equipping: Wheat Ridge sponsors workshops and training events related to current and emerging health ministry issues, and also provides resources in areas of personal health and hope.

In John 10:10, Jesus says, “I have come that they may have life … and have it abundantly.” This is what Wheat Ridge Ministries is all about! Through the seeding of new ministries in the United States and around the world, it is our hope that all people experience wellness of body, mind and spirit made possible in Christ Jesus.
