LOM Has a Place for Everyone Around the Campfire! In all our programs, activities and events, Lutheran Outdoor Ministries (LOM) is committed to providing safe and inclusive environments that reflect the lessons Jesus taught us: “Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another”. (John 13:34) LOM values diversity, opposes discrimination and promotes equal opportunity for all people, regardless of age, abilities, race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, or others who are often marginalized. We strive to ensure that all participants and staff are valued as unique individuals and can reach their full potential by living and working in a community of inclusion and mutual respect. As an association, we encourage our member organizations to do likewise.
HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY LOM!
During LOM Day at the OMC Great Gathering, LOM celebrated the 20th Anniversary of becoming a legally incorporated organization. On November 11, we gathered at Lutheridge to commemorate two decades of shared ministry with both a look back and a look ahead. This video features reflections from former (and current) Presidents of LOM, highlighting key milestones, memorable moments, and the growth of our community over the past 20 years. Created for this special anniversary celebration, the video honors our history while inspiring the next chapter of LOM’s story.
