God's Mission Here

National Mission

Because God's mission is right where you are.


In the Great Commission, Jesus instructs His disciples to “go therefore and make disciples of all nations” (Matt. 28:19). But we don’t have to travel around the world to find people who need to hear the Gospel. God’s mission is all around us, and we have many opportunities to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with the neighbors He has placed in our communities.

In this effort, LCMS National Mission’s goal is to provide support, programs and resources to serve LCMS congregations and schools, partner with LCMS districts, and ultimately make disciples for life.


Programs and Resources:


Church Planting, Renewal and Support



Congregations and Districts



Human Care and Ministerial Support

God's Mission HereAs you serve in the mission field where God has placed you, take a moment to get ideas and encouragement from your brothers and sisters in Christ who are serving in other locations across North America.

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod Inc., including Mission Central (in Mapleton, Iowa), is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity.

A contribution designated (restricted) for a specific purpose, when accepted, will be used only to fund expenses related to that purpose. Occasionally, we may receive more in contributions for a particular purpose than can be wisely applied to it in the foreseeable future or the purpose may cease to be feasible. In these situations, the LCMS will make reasonable attempts to contact contributors to apply their contribution toward another aspect of ministry that aligns closely the contributor’s goals and values. If a contributor cannot be contacted, the LCMS will use the gift to meet a similar pressing need that most closely matches the contributor's original intent.

Consistent with Synod Board policy and in recognition of a more challenging economic and philanthropic/fundraising environment due to inflationary pressure, not more than 12.5 percent of any charitable contribution will be allocated to administering gifts and communicating with contributors (compared to a not-more-than ceiling of 10.5 percent the previous fiscal year). Contributions received and accepted by the LCMS are deemed to be in agreement with this statement.
