About Lutheran Office-Public Policy
The Lutheran Office of Public Policy – California is an advocacy ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) representing over 400 congregations across California. Based in Sacramento on ancestral Miwok and Nisenan lands, the office coordinates Lutheran witness on legislative and public policy matters, grounded in the church's baptismal calling to pursue peace and justice. The organization provides education about the legislative process, mobilizes advocates to engage with lawmakers, and works cooperatively with faith-based and secular partners. Weekly virtual briefings called Advocacy, Info, and Questions (AIQ) connect advocates throughout the state, and the office is guided by ELCA social statements that provide theological frameworks for responding to issues such as criminal justice and immigration. As a publicly engaged church, the Lutheran Office of Public Policy demonstrates that faith calls Christians to participate in God's work of restoring and reconciling communities.
