Inspiring Service

“We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same…” — Marianne Williamson

LCM offers many opportunities so that your light may be shared with others. If you are inspired to help, feel a need for your voice to be heard, or to make a difference within in the world but don’t know where to begin, LCM is the place to start.

Spring Break Service Trips

The past few years we've travelled to New Orleans, Mexico City, Minnesota, and Texas to help with disaster relief and learn about the connections between faith and social justice.
