LUTHERAN |
Framework for Connection and Communication |
LFCNA is pan-Lutheran and exists to serve Faith Community/Parish Nurses and congregations across Lutheranism. All are welcome and invited to be part of the important work of furthering Faith Community/Parish Nursing ministry. Whether your congregation is Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS), Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), or another Lutheran denomination, LFCNA warmly welcomes you and will help you find a region with which you can network. You are also welcome to be involved in a variety of other ways. We are organized for networking and membership using the 9 geographic regions of the ELCA (see the map below). The National LFCNA Board of Directors has up to three directors on its board from each of the nine regions. This group meets approximately 9 times a year via Zoom to carry on the business of the organization. The directors are resources for you and your congregation, offering mentorship to Faith Community/Parish Nurses and/or assisting with the development of a new FCN ministry. The LFCNA Board is always looking for additional members to join organizational leaders as directors, officers, and/or to serve on committees. If you are interested in serving on a committee or the Board, contact your Regional Director or one of the National Officers. The members of the national board are listed on this website by region on the National page. Their contact information is found on the Members Only page. Our hope is that LFCNA members will network with other members in their region and across the country to provide support, share ideas, and identify and share resources. These efforts will allow us to reap the benefits of sharing our combined expertise and experience! |
