We walk with people who are experiencing hard times and are there for them just as God has been there for us. Lutheran Family Service is a place of hope. We live in a time in which the church - those who love God and love people - has an incredible opportunity to share its hope and passion for healthy living with those who are struggling to make life work.
Through LFS, the church is actively engaged with people who need a word of hope and a little help along the way. Every day, the men and women of Lutheran Family Service bring the good news of the Savior and His love to the world, one hurting or needful person at a time. We are here to help. We want to show you that nothing is impossible with God.

When Dana scheduled his first counseling appointment and learned about our sliding scale, his question was one we often hear: "How can you afford to see me when I can't pay the full fee?"
We're always happy to answer that question this way: "We have a counseling assistance fund because there are people who care about you have set aside funds so that we can say YES when someone who has fallen on hard times needs help, even when they can't afford it."Those suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, or abuse who bravely call a counselor for their first appointment are often devastated to learn they can't afford the cost.
