Faith in the City is a partnership of five major Lutheran institutions
in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan area with the goal of
shared leadership, shared resources, and a shared mission for
a stronger, healthier community.
But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile,
and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you
will find your welfare.--Jeremiah 29:7

In 2000 leaders of Twin Cities Lutheran organizations agreed to make
long-term institutional commitments of human, financial and
knowledge-based assets to serve as resources for this new
collaboration. Their desire to "seek the welfare of the city"
is based on this principle:
More can be accomplished collectively for the city when people
and organizations come together to pursue common goals.

The partners, Augsburg College, Fairview Hospital, Luther Seminary,
Lutheran Social Service, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans,
together with the bishops of the Minneapolis and St. Paul
Area Synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
(ELCA),have expertise in a wide variety of areas,
including health care, social services, education, finance
and Christian service. Their collective resources will be
organized and deployed to better solve community problems
for the common good.

Faith in the City seeks to be a catalyst for collaboration
among people, neighborhoods, congregations, community
organizations and others of good will to develop innovative
initiatives that benefit the city and its people.
