Outreach & Community Service

 “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, 

you did it to me.”  ~Matthew 25:40


 We believe that discipleship under Jesus Christ calls us to extend Christian compassion and helpfulness to the ill, the aged, the orphaned, the underprivileged, the imprisoned and 

all in need of aid in body or soul.  Luther Memorial has a longstanding tradition of mission and community service in the New River Valley. Our faith community strives to live out our commitment to Christ through participation in many programs that benefit God’s people locally, and around the globe. Below is a sample of some of our community outreach partnerships.

Valley Interfaith Child Care Center

Von Bora House, Luther Memorial Lutheran Church

In partnership with New River Community Action (NRCA), Luther Memorial offers the Von Bora House, located on the church campus, to eligible families identified by NRCA who are in need of housing.  These families may live at the house rent-free until they can get back on their feet; NRCA pays all utility bills, and Luther Memorial maintains the home and provides furnishings.  In addition, the church quilting group gives every family a quilt, and children are provided with books.

VICCC Valley Interfaith Child Care Center

 Valley Interfaith Child Care (VICCC) was organized in 2004 to address the needs of 

low-income working parents with infant and toddler children, who had few or no choices 

for good, affordable places to leave their children while they worked.  VICCC now provides  high-quality, affordable, fully-state-licensed care to the children of income-eligible working families of the Valley, offering 

a nurturing environment for children from 

low-income families to learn and grow.
