The NLCS Story

Discover the best Lutheran retirement communities.

National Lutheran Communities & Services (NLCS) is a faith-based, not-for-profit ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s (ELCA) Delaware-Maryland, Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and Virginia synods, serving people of all beliefs.

NLCS partners with older adults and their families to provide solutions for successful aging through retirement communities and in-home service options and awards grants to other organizations supporting underserved older adults through Impact1890. Through this suite of activity, we are carrying on a legacy to reimagine aging as we serve the next generation of older adults.
