Boundless Love Community Resources

Even though the Lord is our light and salvation, His children live in a world of uncertainty, loneliness and broken relationships.  Many of us need help to get through these rough patches.  God shows His boundless love by providing  this help through professional counseling and social services. It is no shame to use these services to help you or your family live the life of boundless hope that God intended for His beloved children. Listed below are several area agencies and groups who are waiting to help you.

Please note: these agencies are not formally affiliated with St. Matthew Lutheran Church and School, the Northern Illinois District, nor The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
