Reaching Out With God’s Love

Lutheran Family Service equips individuals and communities with Christ-centered, life-changing tools, resources, and hope to meet the challenges they are facing through Congregational Services and Churchworker Support.

As owners of and partners in ministry work with Lutheran Family Service, we work to support our LCMS pastors, congregations and professional church workers by providing the following:

  • Lutheran Family Service or ‘LFS’ Sundays that include preaching and bible class to share the ministry work of and available services to LCMS congregations
  • Free phone consultations to LCMS pastors that need advice from our highly trained counselors when working with couples or individuals dealing with marital or mental health challenges
  • Mental health or marriage counseling through Concordia Health Plan (and other plans) for professional church workers and their families
  • A trusted Christian agency in which to refer congregants to for marriage or mental health counseling, pregnancy support, or adoption services
  • Culturally relevant and timely workshops and presentations to help educate, inform, and equip congregations and communities

Congregational Services tools and presentations are developed with thoughtful research and care reflective of the current culture and societal landscape. Begin your partnership with Lutheran Family Service today, and bring these incredible resources to your congregation and community!
