Our Partners in Ministry
Financial support for Institutional Ministries comes from over 3,000 individuals, nearly 400 congregations, and over 300 WELS/ELS Elementary Schools and organizations who all share our passion for Jesus' "other sheep" to have the opportunity to hear the voice of their Shepherd.
While our ministry is affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), it is an independent (para-synodical) ministry that is not funded by the WELS.

"Talk to anyone who has ever done ministry inside a prison and one of the comments that you are bound to hear is how personally edifying and uplifting it is to share God’s Word with people in prison." - Chaplain Joseph Radsek
Leave a Legacy
The Plank Road Legacy Society was established in 2013 to recognize committed supporters of Institutional Ministries who have included this special work of the Lord in their estate plans. It is a way for these Christians to continue their support of this special ministry after the Lord blesses them with eternal life in heaven.
