ELCA Global Mission Unit
The ELCA Global Mission is the channel through which Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) expresses itself in mission throughout the world.  It sees itself to be an interdependent part of the whole church`s mission in the world.  With this, the ELCA Global Mission engages the members and resources of the ELCA in mission around the world through involvement in evangelism, witness, education, promotion of justice, service, relief and development.

LOGA mission and work:
Faithful to God`s call, the Lutheran Office for Governmental Affairs fulfills the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America`s witness for social justice on domestic and foreign policy issues facing the nation, and through it, the world.  With a commitment to a prophetic vision which stands with the poor and the powerless, the office represents the church`s positions within the complex arena of public debate.  To achieve effective interaction between the whole church and the federal government, the office educates. informs and enables full involvement of the church in this ministry.
