Lutheran Social Services Of Indiana
[ View Opportunity ]
Last updated on March 18, 2008

Caring for and serving people through the love of Jesus Christ.

Description:
Lutheran Social Services of Indiana is a social ministry organization guided and sustained by the love of Jesus Christ. We will serve those in need, particularly those with few options and opportunities.

History:
For many years the Reverend Philip Wambsganss, pastor of Emmaus Lutheran Church, had experienced firsthand the challenge of providing adoption and family foster care services for placing homeless children into the families of the Lutheran Community.

Families in the Emmaus congregation had been taking in displaced or destitute children brought to the church. In 1901, Rev. Wambsganss began Lutheran Social Services. Over the past 106 years, by God's blessing, the ministry has grown and programs have been added as community need have changed.

Today, with the support of volunteers, donors and a dedicated staff, Lutheran Social Services helps care for and serve people through the love of Jesus Christ.
