Getting Connected

I’ve seen the ELCA make an impact in my community. How do I connect more deeply to this church?

We are a church that rolls up our sleeves and gets to work. Lutherans actively participate in their communities, so maybe you’ve noticed our members in action — hosting meals through a food pantry, rebuilding homes through Lutheran Disaster Response, providing spiritual care in times of loss, marching for the civil rights of marginalized communities, caring for seniors at Lutheran-affiliated nursing homes, or teaching children at preschool.

Lutherans have affiliations with schools, colleges, hospitals, summer camps, care facilities and many other social ministry organizations impacting communities around the country.

Why is service work and justice work integral to the church?
