Our Vision

We envision a world of wholeness for all God’s people.

Our Mission

Embracing Christ’s call to serve, LFS Carolinas walks with the most vulnerable in our communities toward healing and wholeness.

Our Values

We are all children of God. We treat people with dignity, respect and compassion, receiving and valuing the gifts of all.

We understand wholeness to encompass the spiritual, emotional and physical aspects of human life.

We are present for both short-term relief and long-term healing. Our care is sustained and comprehensive.

When faced with injustice, we challenge the status quo and advocate for public policy and societal change.

We understand that we are God’s people of abundance, not of scarcity.

We practice good stewardship of all our gifts and resources.

We look for improvement and innovation in all we do. Our services are effective and outcome focused.

We nurture the professional and spiritual life of our employees and volunteers.

We accomplish our work through collaborations and partnerships, particularly reaching out to our ecumenical brothers and sisters.

As a ministry of the Church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, we embrace our Lutheran roots and are vigilant in finding ways to work with congregations and other Lutheran institutions.
