Faith Community

As the social ministry partner of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), LSS collaborates with over 600 ELCA congregations, and we collaborate with many more across denominations to strengthen families, inspire recovery, and empower independence and belonging. Through shared mission and devoted generosity, our partners help deliver hope where it’s needed most.

Whether through congregational giving, volunteer engagement, or advocacy, faith communities are vital to the work of LSS. Together, we live out a calling to serve with compassion, courage, and love.
