A local council which meets in Halifax sets and administers the goals and procedures of this ministry. The chair of the local council is Rev. Kimber McNabb, the pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Halifax. The other members of this council are Marguerite Joudrey, Joyce Norwood, and Virve Sandstrom. Marguerite Joudrey is the representative on the Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry’s committee.

A chaplain, who has an office on the Dalhousie Campus in the Dalhousie Multifaith Centre at 1321 Edward Street, is a member of an interfaith and ecumenical team of thirteen chaplains. These chaplains works on campus with a wide range of campus students, staff, and faculty. The Lutheran chaplain also works closely with the Justice and Action Student or Students.
