Heirarchy

Individual ladies belong to a society in their local, Lutheran congregation.  The entire LWML Society (or there may be more than one society) in the congregation (also known in our constitution as a unit) is a member of the 
local, geographic LWML Zone.  

Society Presidents attend Zone Board Meetings in Spring and Fall of each year to receive information the Zone President has collected at the District Board of Directors meeting in Jefferson City.  The complete Zone Board is composed of elected and appointed officers, all Society Presidents in the Zone and includes a pastoral counselor.

The LWML Zone is a member of the local geographic District.  Our district is named The Missouri District of the Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML).  Missouri District LWML is comprised of 21 Zones.  The District LWML Board of Directors meet in September and February of each year.  Each meeting is attended by all Zone Presidents, elected and appointed officers of the Missouri District LWML, and includes two pastoral counselors.

Mission

The mission of the Lutheran Women's Missionary League 
is to assist each woman of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod 
in affirming her relationship with the triune God 
so that she is enabled to use her gifts 
in ministry to the people of the world.  

LWML Pledge

In fervent gratitude for the Savior's dying love 
and His blood-bought gift of redemption, 
we dedicate ourselves to Him with all that we are and have; 
and in obedience to His call for workers in the harvest fields, 
we pledge Him our willing service 
wherever and whenever He has need of us.
  
We consecrate to our Savior 
our hands to work for Him, 
our feet to go on His errands, 
our voices to sing His praises, 
our lips to proclaim His redeeming love, 
our silver and our gold to extend His Kingdom, 
our will to do His will, 
and every power of our life to the great task 
of bringing the lost and the erring 
into eternal fellowship with Him.

Amen
