As a member there, she was delegate to a Synod Assembly and on a board of the Central State Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
In 1974, she was involved in the founding of the Evangelical Lutherans in Mission and set up its first office in her Kirkwood home. ELIM was the original support partner for Concordia Seminary in Exile and Partners in Mission.
Mrs. Bremer Childs was active in Lutheran Family and Children Services, the Lay Lutheran School of Theology in St. Louis and the St. Louis Advisory Council of International Partners in Mission. She was involved in the Assistance League of St. Louis, a group that identifies, develops, implements and funds projects to serve specific needs of children and adults.
