Lutheran Staff Associate (LSA) is a pan-Lutheran group of non-clergy employees serving Lutheran congregations, agencies and in specialized settings.
LSA promotes individual development for non-clergy staff. We provide opportunities for education, inspiration, training, and networking for mutual support to our members.
Our membership is drawn from Lutheran congregations and agencies in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. We are funded by membership dues, judicatory support, and donations.
In the early part of each year we hold a 4-day conference to provide you with opportunities to learn and laugh, sing and pray, grow in faith and connect with others working in similar ministries.
Many congregations provide continuing education funds for their non-clergy staff so they can attend the L.S.A. conference annually. Your own spiritual growth as well as the ministry of your church or agency will be enhanced by your participation in this event
