Organization
Lutheran North Middle and High School is a private Christian education serving grades 6-12 located in North County. As there are not many co-educational Christian schools in the north county/city area, Lutheran North prioritizes maintaining a long-term presence in the community. Due to socio-economic challenges in some of the communities that their students come from, they seek to make the tuition financially accessible to families, with most families receiving an average of $5,000 in financial aid. 90 percent of the student body is black, and most reside in the North County and North City neighborhoods.
Partnership #1 (2024)
Lutheran North identified a need to build capacity for greater spiritual formation among their student body, as well as develop relationships with local churches. They will increase offerings in their daily chapel services, support additional pastoral and spiritual staff on campus, create a stronger church network around the school, and develop stronger Christian student leaders through a pastoral internship program. The Brown Sisters Foundation issued a challenge grant to support the spiritual development initiative and help the school garner additional fundraising support from the community to sustain their programming in North County/City.
