Welcome
Welcome!
LutheranHANDS is a ministry dedicated to helping youth grow spiritually through service. As part of the ministry, we organize Mission Trips to parts of the United States where a natural disaster or other crisis has left a community to rebuild. It is our goal to bring hope to the communities affected by terrible events and allow youth to become closer to God through the good work being done in those communities. Youth will have the opportunity to learn a new trade, speak with residents, tour communities, develop friendships and community among other youth, grow spiritually, and make a difference in the world.
