Lutheran Statewide Advocacy's Partners

Church in Society
Mission: The Unit for Church in Society of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America witnesses to Jesus Christ who frees us to do justice and give our lives in service in God's world. Through our ministry we work for the common good, confront obstacles to local and global community, and promote care for creation and for all people according to their needs.

Mission: In response to the Gospel, the mission of the Upstate New York Synod is to “Make Christ Known” through all of its expressions. We are called by the Spirit: to provide vision, leadership, resources, and support; to enable and empower the People of God to embody the Good News at home, around the corner, and beyond the horizon; and to call all people to repentance and faith, by proclaiming the love, life, hope, and forgiveness Jesus brings.

Mission: Called by Christ in baptism, we in the Metropolitan New York Synod have been entrusted with abundant and unique gifts to be God's reconciling presence in a broken world. We are freed to walk with one another in diverse ministries sharing these gifts by calling people to Christ through our congregations, re-rooting in our neighborhoods, and reaching into the world as signs of God's transforming hope.
