What is LSM?

Mission Statement
"Called by the grace of God and nurtured in a community built around the Word and Sacrament, we, the Lutheran Student Movement - USA, join together to serve God and Minister in Christ's name."

The Lutheran Student Movement is a student led, Christ driven organization active at the local, regional, and national level created to promote the active participation of students in the life and mission of the Lutheran Church on their campuses, in their communities, and as individuals.

Following in the Lutheran tradition we are always exploring new opportunities in faith and re-evaluating ourselves as an organization. As a united body, we provide a voice of university and college students to the larger church, and we develop students to be the future leaders of the church. LSM encourages students to meet new people and grow strong friendships and relationships. We are a faith community that encourages and supports participation at all levels of the movement and welcomes any and all students!

The regional level helps students develop more personal relationships with fellow students and staff. Regional ministries are able to meet frequently because of their close geographic locations. Members at the regional level often have the opportunity to attend spiritual and educational retreats. The retreats rally students to worship together and further their knowledge of Christ. Students also engage in learning and action discussions related to social injustice, vocation, and much more. Schools within regions often meet outside of their retreats to continue to strengthen the regional community.
