The  mission of Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is to mobilize women to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ.

In 2002, based on an organizational self-assessment, the following goals of this mission were defined.

1. To achieve sustainable intergenerational connections that are meaningful and relevant.

2. To build communities that are cohesive, diverse, dynamic, compassionate, and just, based on common interests, concerns, and commitments.

3. To authentically name, voice, and respond to issues affecting women through awareness, education, action, and advocacy.

4. To assess our present structure, relationships, and programs in terms of the mission statement: to mobilize women to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ.

5. To use demographic information and organizational research as a basis for all mission planning.
