Welcome to the ShopWELS purchasing program!

One of the blessings of walking together as a synod is that there are some things we can do better as a group than as individuals. Purchasing is one of those things. Because of the volume that we represent to potential vendors, many are willing to offer discounted prices on their products or services. This makes good "business" sense, but it is also wise stewardship as we all seek to be the best stewards we can of all of God's resources.

All vendors have agreed to provide WELS organizations with discounted pricing on their products and/or services. Each relationship is a bit different, so please read the vendor information carefully about how to participate in the buying programs available. Typically, discounts will range from 1% to 25% depending on product line or volume. The greater the participation across the synod, the larger the discounts will grow.

A number of the vendor programs will also be available for individual WELS members. Look for the green checkmark at the bottom of a page for participating vendors.
