Faith in the City

Faith in the City is a partnership of six major Lutheran institutions in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan area committed to improving the quality of life of the communities in which they serve.

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.                    

We envision a renewed public calling for the well-being of the city and its people, alive with the hope that we can do more together and in partnership with others of good will than would ever be possible separately.

These partners have expertise in a wide variety of areas, including health care, social services, education, finance, publishing and Christian service. Their collective resources will be organized and deployed to better solve community problems for the common good.

Partners

Faith in the City's partners together with the bishops of the Saint Paul and Minneapolis area synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America meet regularly to shape the collaborative mission and vision and outcomes of the initiative.
