Welcome to Open Arms

Our goal is to encourage and enable quality Lutheran childcare ministry in connection with new church planting or expanded Gospel outreach.  A well-founded childcare ministry nurtures not only the children but also the parents, and brings them daily to the open arms of the Church.  We can help your congregation or new mission touch more families with God's love and care. Please explore out site to learn more about our ministry.

Open Arms Conferences

The Lord blessed our conference on April 17-19, 2008 in Glenview, Illinois with a wonderful group of participants from Oregon to Florida and many places between. If you missed it, our next conference will be held in Belleville, Michigan, October 23-25, 2008. Reserve the dates and watch for more information. The conference will again offer a comprehensive introduction and extensive guidance for those considering the Open Arms concept, as well as an exciting look at what has become a major movement in the Lutheran Church.
