Who We Are

LUMINA is the Latin word for light. We believe God calls us to let our light shine in the shadows of our community. LUMINA is a ministry reaching out to the poor in wealth and spirit. Our mission: To share the love of God by equipping and encouraging people who experience poverty and hardship. Our vision for Lancaster City: every person restored to the vital and productive life God intended. LUMINA offers food, education opportunities, encouragement, and friendship to those experiencing the darkness of poverty, hardship, and loneliness. Since we believe “Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit” (I Cor 6:19) we show love and care to the body, mind, and soul of each person asking for help regardless of race, gender, religion, or orientation. Most importantly, we actively build trusting relationships with others.
