The Ministries of Lutheran Church CharitiesAcross all the ministries at LCC is the desire to BE THERE to share the Mercy, Compassion, Presence and Proclamation of Jesus Christ to those who are suffering and in need.
Amid life's storms, our steady presence becomes a beacon of hope, a reminder that God's love is unwavering. Join us in answering the call to be a source of strength and comfort. Together, let's cast aside fear and doubt, and BE THERE to bring light to the darkest corners of crisis. |
LCC Disaster Response deploys, coordinates, and manages volunteer teams as they respond to disasters throughout the United States. LCC trains volunteer Lutheran Early Response Teams (LERT) through our LCMS congregations. Approximately 850 active LCC LERT volunteers are trained, many with expertise with chainsaws, heavy equipment, debris removal, flood recovery, mucking homes, and providing emotional and spiritual care.

Hearts of Mercy & Compassion® (HMC) provides a physical and spiritual symbol through the giving of hearts and crosses/markers to families and friends who have suffered a loss or are experiencing the illness of a loved one. An HMC can also be given to celebrate a victory, honor service, as an expression of love, or as encouragement. Given as a gift, each HMC provides the love and hope of Jesus through presence and prayer.

The Human Care Ministry shares specific appeals to the LCC donor community to help individuals, clergy support staff, and congregations. Support may be financial, in-kind donations, people resources, emotional and spiritual. Through LCMS congregations, LCC's Human Care Ministry supports soup kitchens, food pantries and lending closets, refugees, and veterans just to name a few.

Moments of crisis cast shadows of uncertainty. As followers of Christ, we are called to be His hands and heart in the world. Just as Jesus walked alongside the weary and offered solace to the hurting, we too are called to BE THERE for each other.
