The Hoffmann Society

Oswald Hoffmann served as Speaker of The Lutheran Hour from 1955 to 1988. During his decades of ministry work, he presented the hope and truth of the Gospel to millions worldwide. The Hoffmann Society is a group of more than 3,000 dedicated Christians who are honoring and continuing this work of pointing people to the cross in their lives and beyond.

The Hoffmann Society members have these three things in common:

1. A desire to share Christ with people in their neighborhoods and around the world.
2. A passion for ministry programs that reach out to people in a new and different way than ever before.
3. A vision of the next generation hearing the Gospel message.

They have provided for Lutheran Hour Ministries through a planned gift such as a Charitable Gift Annuity, Charitable Remainder Trust, Life Insurance, or Gifts of Stock, established a named endowment fund, or listed LHM as a beneficiary on their will, trust, or insurance policy.

Members are not necessarily wealthy and may not be ordained or commissioned church workers, but they realize the importance of sharing the Gospel message with people worldwide. They know that their support of Lutheran Hour Ministries and their membership in The Hoffmann Society is a way to be involved in ministry.

Members stay engaged and informed through a letter called The Hoffmann Society Voice from LHM CEO Kurt Buchholz. The Voice features ministry highlights and news that members should hear. In addition, members of The Hoffmann Society are recognized at the International Convention of the International Lutheran Laymen’s League held every other year.
