Josephine welcomes any church of a Christian denomination to be a partner in ministry with it. Since the beginning in 1908, Josephine has been affiliated with the Lutheran denomination. Today, Josephine is a separately incorporated nonprofit Social Ministry Organization affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and supports the following: “The church is a people created by God in Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, called and sent to bear witness to God’s creative, redeeming and sanctifying activity in the world.” As part of the affiliation with the ELCA, Josephine is required to have partner churches as corporate members.
