About Us

Welcome to the web site for Lutheran Episcopal Services in Mississppi. We hope that you will be able to find all necessary information somewhere on this site, but if you do not, please call or email one of our staff members.

The Lutheran Episcopal Services in Mississippi (LESM) is a non-profit organization that provides a wide range of services and ministry for at-risk persons in the Magnolia State. LESM manages and conducts numerous programs in children's education, restorative justice, and disaster response. The organization is currently focused on aiding the victims of Hurricane Katrina, working in partnership with Camp Coast Care, a relief center on the Gulf Coast.

Lutheran Episcopal Services in Mississippi (LESM) shares God's call through three joint ministries:

• Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi
• Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
• The Southern District of the Lutheran Church Synod

The three denominations believe they can accomplish far more together than alone. By sharing combined resources of time and talent, along with financial contributions LESM can meet more needs and serve a wider constituency within God's kingdom in Mississippi. This organization strives to serve Christ in all persons and to seek justice. The three denominations believe they can accomplish far more together than alone.
