Lutheran Metro Ministries
In the Greater Cleveland area, LMM and the Ohio District, LCMS, have enjoyed a strong partnership in human care ministry since the 1960's. Learn about LMM and how its several ministry areas are expressing Christian commitment to reach out in loving service to build a caring and just community.
The LMM mission is to promote shalom (peace, well-being, health, harmony, wholeness) and justice (the demands of right relationship in community) through Christian ministry of service and advocacy with those who are oppressed, forgotten and hurting.
Since 1969, Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry has answered Micah's call to do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with God by serving others in the cause of justice. LMM was established in response to the urban unrest of the 1960's, specifically the upheaval in Hough. Today, LMM serves and advocates with persons currently and previously involved in the criminal justice system, youth at-risk, people with disabilities, people dealing with long term care needs and people who are homeless.
