Here is a look at what Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada has been doing in 2025.

Lutherans and Episcopalians from across Nevada showed up in force for Lutheran Lobby Day at the Nevada Legislature. On an ordinary day, something extraordinary happened in Carson City, people of faith gathered to share their stories, name the issues that brought them to the Capitol, and meet directly with legislators. It was a powerful reminder that when we come together as neighbors, rooted in faith and shared values, meaningful change is possible.

Since that day, LEAN has continued to meet and preach in congregations across Nevada, helping to build a growing grassroots movement grounded in justice, dignity, and care for our neighbors. We are grateful for a productive Legislative Session, and a Special Session, that included numerous bills on which LEAN advocated faithfully and persistently.

From rising costs of living and threats against social programs, attacks on our most vulnerable communities, and the escalating housing and climate crises, Nevadans have shown what happens when faith is put into action. We have witnessed the everyday struggles faced by individuals and families across our state, and we remain committed to advocating for policies that protect Nevadans, lower costs, and advance justice for all.

LEAN is deeply thankful for the leaders who serve on our Policy Board and for the congregations and advocates who continue to show up, speak out, and pray with their feet.

In 2026, we invite you to deepen this work by welcoming our Advocacy Director, Pastor Paul Larson, to your congregation for preaching, teaching, or conversation. To schedule a visit, contact paullarson@leanforjustice.org.

Join us as we continue to make an impact on the Nevada Community. Together, we continue to live out our faith, boldly, publicly, and in love for our neighbors.
