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.
Our Education Partners
Lutheran Special Education Ministries provides resource room services, professional development, and educational support to churches and schools across the country. Our ministry’s vision is to provide children the opportunity to grow academically and spiritually regardless of the challenges they may face. We’re constantly looking at ways to grow our ministry by serving and supporting as many children, families and Christian communities as possible.
