We are a 501(c)3 non-profit (EIN 38-1360583) and a Recognized Service Organization (RSO) of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod.
Our Mission: We are a ministry that partners with Christian schools and churches to advance the success of children who have various learning abilities.
Our Vision: It is our vision that every child, regardless of their learning ability, will have access to a Christian education.
Studies show that one student in five has a learning challenge. The law guarantees these children a public education. For families that choose a Christian education, Lutheran Special Education Ministries is eager to partner with them and with their schools and churches to help meet their needs.
