We Are The LDA
OUR VALUES
WISDOM as the integration of knowledge, truth, and discernment that shapes our decisions. INTEGRITY as a guide, directing us toward just actions and relationships. COURAGE as a driving force that inspires bold choices, confronts injustice, and nurtures personal growth
As the LDA, we encourage, equip, and serve:
- We encourage individuals as they discern a call to ministry.
- We equip individuals of all genders for ministry that is anti-racist, inclusive, and culturally humble.
- Informed by Jesus’ ministry of radical welcome and justice, members of the diaconate and their communities serve alongside others in ways that affirm dignity, equity, and the beloved nature of all people.
OUR WHY
The LDA exists to be a living example of Jesus' love.
