Ministry

Our purpose is to educate and promote social justice issues to support the least among us. As a church, we affirm God’s call through our 1991 social statement The Church in Society: A Lutheran Perspective: "Along with all citizens, Christians have the responsibility to defend human rights and to work for freedom, justice, peace, environmental well-being and good order in public life." To that end, the National ELCA and our Northeastern Ohio Synod address pressing social justice issues through the filter of discernment, the teachings of Jesus Christ in scripture, Social Statements and Social Messages.
