Life Ministries is devoted to upholding the sanctity of human life, both in our church body and the culture at large. We are actively involved in a variety of domestic and international programs to support and encourage life "in the image of God."

By supporting women and children through crisis pregnancy centers, providing educational materials and opportunities, reaching out to youth through a Christian chastity program, and working closely with allies such as National Lutherans For Life and the National Pro-life Religious Council, Life Ministries is carrying the banner that life is sacred.

LCMS Life Ministries strives to achieve the following goals:

• To share biblical teaching regarding the sanctity of all human life, with a clear Law and Gospel approach, according to the confessional witness of our church.
• To build an awareness about sanctity of life concerns throughout all stages of life, including abortion, euthanasia, care of the developmentally disabled, chastity, education, medical research, adoption and family life.
• To educate about the consequences of abortion, and encourage the spiritual, emotional and physical care of those experiencing post-abortion syndrome.
• To provide accessible information to lay people, clergy and the media regarding life issues.
• To serve as a resource to congregations and districts who seek to address pro-life concerns in their unique local and state contexts.
• To provide encouragement and support for social ministry agencies as these organizations care for those facing sanctity of life decisions
