Company Overview

Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota (LSS) traces its history to 1865 when a young Swedish pastor named Eric Norelius and his congregation took in four orphaned immigrant children and later opened Vasa Lutheran Home for Children.

LSS is the largest, statewide non-profit social service agency in Minnesota with over 2,200 employees who serve in 300 communities. It is owned by the six Minnesota synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Services are divided into four divisions:

  • Services for Children and Families
  • Services for Seniors
  • Services for People with Disabilities

    Primary funding sources include ELCA and other church support, contracts for service, client fees, local United Way support, private grants, individual contributions and bequests. The 2009 budget is $90M. LSS aligns its hiring, development and performance management systems with a Breakthrough/Velocity, Results Driven Service, Public Will and Anti Racism.

    LSS actively fosters an environment that is free of racism, discrimination, bias, and harassment where all individuals are treated with dignity, safety, and hope.
