What we do
Through cooperation and collaboration with local congregations and state and local families, LSMM is able to make a significant difference in the quality of life of hundreds - if not thousands of individuals. With a spirit of sharing, we network with Lutheran social agencies throughout the nation to the benefit of all parties. We are ready to move forward with the exciting new relationship with the Episcopal Mississippi Diocese and its parishes.

strengthening families
"Storybook" helps to maintain the bonds between mothers and their children. Adoption services have not only strengthened families, it has built families! LSMM addresses social issues throughout the state, many of which can be traced to the lack of education and economic opportunity.

education and economic opportunity
A major economic development program is near implementation in the Delta, and programs and activities to reinforce and enhance academic skills in children at high risk are being well received around the state.

services to congregations
LSMM is committed to providing services to congregations who have an interest in implementing their own (or cooperative) ministry. When appropriate and possible, LSMM will help find or provide staffing and leadership to local congregation social ministries. A congregational planning service is available to help determine interest in congregation involvement in cooperative ministries or implementation of a local program.

disaster services
LSMM impacts the community by providing disaster services to those who have been affected by major storms. Through Lutheran Disaster Response, LSMM works to rebuild and return families to their homes and communities.
