Voter Resources for People of Faith
Equipping our congregations to live out the gospel means helping Lutherans connect their faith with the responsibilities and opportunities of citizenship. The decisions made through our elections—yes, even midterm elections—shape the lives of our neighbors, the well-being of our communities, and our shared responsibility to care for one another. We offer these resources to encourage thoughtful, informed participation in our shared civic life.
Pastoral Message from Bishop Stoller
Bishop Stoller reflects on how we can carry the values of our faith into civic life and love our neighbors even when we disagree.

“What's Being Done to Ensure Every PA Voter Can Cast a Ballot Safely and With Confidence”
LAMPa and The Committee of Seventy, the Commonwealth’s oldest nonpartisan good-government organization, equip attendees with information and resources to help inform their fellow Pennsylvanians about why our elections are secure. The webinar provides clear, detailed information about the processes county election offices use before and after each election to ensure that every eligible voter can cast a ballot safely and with confidence. You can also learn how to support the process yourself, including recruiting poll workers and combating misinformation in your own communities.
