Synod History
As with all of church history, the LCMS’ history is replete with sinners and saints who struggled and learned, repented and forgave. We cherish our forebears in the faith as examples for us from whom we still learn.
Human Care
The church follows in the example of Christ who fed the hungry, healed the sick and cared for those in need. Since Christ died for us, we likewise show mercy to those in need, all the while pointing them to Him who died on the cross for their sake and who delivers eternal healing and mercy in the proclamation of His Word.
Church Work Vocation
Through His church, Christ calls servants for His church. The church, therefore, seeks to ensure that the youths of our congregations are encouraged to consider church work, that we prepare and equip our students to serve the church, and that we support our church workers as they serve.
Education
Education is a key part of our church’s work. Whether in preschool through 8th grade, high school or higher education at the undergraduate or graduate level, the LCMS is committed to making Christ known. These resources will help your school keep Christ at the center.
Christian Living
St. Paul writes that Christ died for us so that we would no live for ourselves, but “for Him who died who for [our] sake died and was raised” (2 Cor. 5:15). This means learning to understand how our theology informs and transforms how we live faithfully in the world.
Health and Wellness

Stewardship

Global Work
The LCMS sent its first international missionary in 1894 and has not looked back since. Now, over 100 LCMS missionaries spread the Gospel, plant Lutheran churches and show mercy in over 30 countries around the globe.
