Mission

Touching six million people a year

Lutheran Services in America creates opportunities with people in thousands of communities throughout the United States and the Caribbean as an alliance of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod, and their over 300 health and human service organizations. Working neighbor to neighbor through services in health care, aging and disability supports, community development, housing, and child and family strengthening, these organizations together touch the lives of one in 50 Americans each year and have aggregated annual incomes over $16.6 billion.

As Lutheran Christian organizations, what compels and sustains us into the future is God's call to love and serve our neighbors. In 2008, the LSA Board adopted these Ends Policies toward which we are working.
