Biographical / Historical
The Lutheran Inner Mission League of the Miami Valley was incorporated in 1926. Its stated purposes were: (1) stimulate missionary activities and encourage works of mercy; and (2) bring Lutheran congregations together to (a) establish and maintain that inner mission work in Dayton and other places in the Miami Valley is feasible, (b) accumulate funds to establish operations on a larger scale, and (c) receive, hold, and disburse gift, bequests, and other funds, and (d) own and maintain suitable real estate and buildings. In 1966, the name of the organization was changed to The Lutheran Social Service of the Miami Valley. Since 2006, the organization has been known as Graceworks Lutheran Services. More information is available at the organization’s web site: https://graceworks.org/.
