The mission of LMSN is to bring spiritual care and the healing touch of Christ's love to those we serve.
LMSN is guided by the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:36: “I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me."
LMSN’s chaplains serve as a pastoral extension for all Lutheran congregations in the Pacific Northwest and visit all Lutherans who find themselves away from their regular spiritual support.
Through a partnership of chaplains and volunteers, LMSN serves as an enlightened and caring community that is willing to address the issues raised by those in need of pastoral and spiritual care. LMSN brings compassion, love, and understanding to individuals and their families facing catastrophic situations in their lives.
LMSN is a recognized social ministry organization of the LCMS and ELCA and is a member of Lutheran Services in America.

Hospitals
Care Centers / Nursing Homes
Our Care Center Ministry gives those within nursing homes and care centers the reminder that they are not alone and are within the embrace of God's grace and are part of God's family.
Prisons / Jails
LMSN recently added a new chaplain who ministers in jails / prisons, and we are blessed to have local pastors and layperson volunteers who also provide ministry to the incarcerated in our area. As noted, LMSN also serves as the coordinators for jail / prison ministry in the Northwest District of the LCMS.
