SEED (Spiritual Engagement, Education, & Development) is motivated and grounded in decades of Lutheran tradition and Christian values: acceptance, grace, forgiveness, and renewal inspired by Jesus Christ. Embedded into our programming, SEED is a healing network that promotes personal growth, renewed relationships and the development of spirit-filled lives.
In response to God's love and grace in Jesus Christ, the SEED Program engages the residents, staff, and volunteers in developing spirit-filled lives, bringing healing and growth according to His grace. Lutheran Child and Family Services seeks to provide those we serve with resources to deepen their religious and spiritual lives as well as to discover who they are.
Though we are a faith-based organization, affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, we believe in and are committed to the freedom of expression and worship for each one with whom we work and whom we serve.
SEED services include:
- Voluntary, weekly chapel services and Bible study
- Individual or group prayer and conversation as requested
- Building relationships and partnerships with local faith communities in support of the mission and vision at LCFS
- Connecting children with caring faith communities and mentors
- Providing training in spiritual care to workers, families, and volunteers
Join Circle of Hope Today!
We at Lutheran Child and Family Services are indebted to our volunteers! Their love provides hope in so many ways to those we serve. Would you consider joining our Circle of Hope – our volunteers who work directly with the residents?
- Get a group of friends from church or community together to visit once a month for group activities with a set of residents.
- If you have a talent to share, consider coaching in job skills, athletics, music, or STEM.
We are also looking for anyone interested in joining the Spiritual Team to help, when available, with chapel services or Bible studies.
If you would like more information about SEED or Circle of Hope, please contact our Spiritual Life Leader Kathy Witto
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13)
We love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
