Northland Lutheran Retirement Community, Inc. has been a church-related not-for-profit ministry of the church since 1917. It began as a room-and-board home that served twenty-three Lutheran people of the Superior Conference of the former Augustana Lutheran Church. With church mergers, it became the ministry of the Lutheran Church in America, the American Lutheran Church, and in 1988, the ministry of the Northern Great Lakes Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. It has become a multi-facility program on a forty-five acre campus, serving over six hundred persons per day regardless of church affiliations. It now provides a variety of alternatives in housing and health care services as well as reaching out into the community. Caring for the whole person is the ministry of Northland. Spiritual care is a part of caring for the whole person. Pastoral care is provided through worship opportunities in the chapel, visits in the residents’ rooms, hospital visits, participation in patient care planning, counseling and a variety of other ways. Northland is pleased to have a chaplain to reach out in ministry across its campus. It is a part of making the ministry of Northland distinctive.
