About LCSN

We are here to serve you. 

Our mission is simple — to inform congregations about what is happening in the ELCA.

LCSN is a grassroots initiative begun by lay people from around the nation. It arose out of a concern for ELCA congregations and an impending threat to their proclamation of the Gospel.

What are we offering?

We have gathered a comprehensive set of resources for congregations who wish to educate themselves about what is happening in the ELCA, according to the ELCA’s own documents.

It can be tempting to take a “wait and see” approach, but we firmly believe that it’s better to be prepared than to find out after it’s too late.

Do your homework. 

On our Resources page, you’ll find a carefully curated list of articles and documents — all of which have been shared publicly by the ELCA. We strongly encourage you to do your homework.

This isn’t about politics. It’s not about theology. It’s about autonomy.
