Meet Your ELCA Advocacy Staff

In the ELCA we believe that, through baptism, God calls us into the world to serve together. ELCA Witness in Society encompasses some of the ELCA’s work and ministry in the public sphere, advancing justice and shining a light on peace and dignity. This work and ministry take place wherever Lutherans are found, in communities across the 50 states and in the Caribbean region, with focused activity through the Lutheran Office for World Community at the United Nations in New York City; in state public policy offices in the ELCA Advocacy Network; through our Corporate Social Responsibility program; and from the ELCA’s federal hub in Washington, D.C.

Meet ELCA staff based in Washington, D.C., including skilled policy advocates who monitor legislative developments pertinent to ELCA federal policy priorities, develop relationships with policy makers, consult with faith-based and issue-focused coalitions, advance accompaniment awareness and goals from ELCA ministries and colleagues, and, at opportune moments, act and facilitate action by members of the ELCA Advocacy Network.
