The Lutheran Care Ministry was established by the Synod of Alberta and Territories of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada in response to an overwhelming number of international students attending universities and other post-secondary institutions in the city of Calgary, Alberta. Our Mandate is to exemplify our care, compassion, and love for those we encounter in our daily activities and in our community.
Apart from the variety of support services to be provided by University of Calgary including orientation and welcoming programs and academic and personal counseling, our Ministry will be helping which are complement programs already available through the campus, and which will help students to work through their individual challenges that may impact their learning and living adjustment in a new country.
