About Us


Lindenwood Area Senior Ministry (LASM) is a partnership of five faith communities providing a variety of support services for older adult members of the partner churches as well as any senior living in the Lindenwood Park neighborhood.

MISSION

Lindenwood Area Senior Ministry in keeping with the ministry of Christ seeks to enhance the quality of life of senior adults by providing meaningful volunteer experiences, services, and programs that promote physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and safety. 

HISTORY

In 2006, five churches in the Lindenwood Park neighborhood recognized the growing needs of the senior adults in their community.  They approached South Grand Senior Ministry (SGSM) with the hope of replicating SGSM’s model program in the Lindenwood community.  After a year of consultation and the building out of core programs, Lindenwood Area Senior Ministry (LASM) became an independent entity in January 2008.  LASM acheived its nonprofit status in 2009 and is proud to be a vital and growing ministry.

Our Mission:  In keeping with the ministry of Christ, Lindenwood Senior Ministry seeks to enhance the quality of life of senior adults by providing meaningful volunteer experiences, services and programs that promote physical, mental, emotional  and spiritual health.  You do not have to be a member of a particular organization to participate in LASM.  We serve senior adults who need support to stay in their homes and remain engaged in their community.
