How to Help Lutheran Ministry Services Northwest
The work of Lutheran Ministry Services Northwest (LMSN) depends on the partnership and generosity of individuals, congregations, businesses and organizations who help our agency through their financial support and volunteer service. There are many ways you can become a partner in the works of LMSN.
Prayer
Our mission is "to be the hands, feet, and heart of Jesus for the hurting in our community." That can only happen as God guides every aspect of the ministry we do. Please join us in praying for this ministry and the people we serve.

Stocks and bonds held for over one year can be given to LMSN tax free. That is made possible by the LCMS Foundation who will process the transaction and forward the funds to LMSN’s LCEF account. Go to www.LCMSFoundation.org to find instructions on how to do such donations. Please call us if you would like to make such a donation so that we can help guide you through the process. You can also call the LCMS Foundation at 1-800-325-7912 and speak to Sue Sehrt at ext. 1621.
