The ministries of the LCMS include Mission and Outreach as we follow Christ's command to make known His love and forgiveness to the whole world. 

We strive to follow the example of Jesus who loved us and cared for us, by Caring for Others, using both material and spiritual resources to care for those who are suffering or in need. 

As a respected leader in the field of Education, we place great emphasis on instruction in the Word and administer the largest Protestant school system in the United States.

Our Congregations are united in an association of Christian fellowship called a "Synod," which means "walking together." 

The Synod provides Leadership through the President's office, its 35 district offices, boards and commissions.

Through our various Media, we keep you informed of the ways The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod is proclaiming His Word throughout the world!
