Grow With Us ● Go With Us
Grow the ministry of love, mercy, and care that we are called to accomplish together for our neighbors in need — and earn a special gift for your pastor!
Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky. Yes, the Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase. Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way. –Psalm 85:11-13
For over 124 springs, laypeople like you of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod have answered the call of the Lord to serve His beloved children in many ways in partnership with Lutheran Family Service. This spring, LFS is responding to the needs expressed by more LCMS pastors and churches, as we prepare to Grow & Go by increasing our ministry of counseling, supporting, and loving people in new states and communities.
The Spring 2025 Grow & Go Challenge:
You love your pastor, and so do we! Today, we invite you to join us in a fun way to show your support for him, as you partner with LFS to grow our network of care to your neighbors.
We will present your pastor with a giftcard for a night out when at least 10 new partners from your church step up between May 1 and June 30, and each make a gift of at least $10 to support those in need who are served by LFS.
You will help both LFS and your pastor Grow & Go; and will support and extend the ministry of love, mercy, and care that we are called to accomplish together for our neighbors in need, including projects like these:
Mental Health Counseling & Wellness
"My counselor has been an invaluable help. A literal lifesaver."
–Iowa District East Pastor
Adoption
"We are so incredibly grateful to the staff at LFS for their support in growing our family."
–Jackson & Susie, Adoptive Parents
Support for Wives of LCMS Pastors
"This ministry isn’t just a blessing but a necessity."
–Emily, Koinonia Group Participant
Unplanned Pregnancy Support
"LFS cared about building a relationship with me. We need more of that."
–Birthmom, Northwest Iowa
Programs + Presentations
"There's no better resource for churches that want to help their people."
–Dr. Jon Barz, Elder, St. Paul Dubuque
Be one of 10 from your congregation to join us in this important extension of Christ-centered mission and ministry through Lutheran Family Service. Make your gift today, as together we trust in the promise of our God, as the Psalmist concludes, “Yes, the Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase. Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way.”
