About Us

Lutheran Disaster Response is a collaborative ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod (LCMS).  Begun in 1972, following significant flooding from Hurricane Agnes in eastern Pennsylvania, Lutheran Disaster Response brings together the energy and efforts of Lutherans from around the country to respond to natural and human-caused disasters in the United States and its territories.

We demonstrate Christ's compassion for all people by promoting hope, healing, and wholeness to disaster survivors.

There are many ways you can become involved in this important ministry.  Follow us here, on Facebook, or on our e-mail list.  Give of your talents to financially support the continued mission of disaster response, both now and for future events.  Give of your time to serve as a volunteer.

Together, we are all Lutheran Disaster Response.
