Annual benefit 5K

supporting Tanzanian medical and educational ministries

Selian Lutheran Hospital, Selian Hospice, the Arusha Lutheran Medical Centre (ALMC), The Plaster House and the ALMC School of Nursing, the Step by Step Learning Center and Eripoto Safe House, and the Maasae Girls Lutheran Secondary School. From vital healthcare services, to providing housing, education and counseling for girls and young women experiencing discrimination and trafficking: these ministries are critical to the futures of thousands of people in Tanzania every year.

Saint Peter Lutheran Church is a partner with our brothers and sisters in Tanzania, investing in these critical services. One way you can help support is to participate in our annual family-friendly, all ages 5K!

We look forward to welcoming you on September 12 for the 5K.

All ages. All paces. Making a difference together.
