Franke at Seaside, a ministry of the Lutheran Church, traces its beginnings to the evangelical Lutheran Charities Society of Charleston, when it was first founded in 1892 on Calhoun Street in downtown Charleston. In 1908 the Evangelical Lutheran Charities Society, now known as Lutheran Homes of S.C, Inc., purchased and renovated the Adger family home and soon the Jacob Washington Franke Home welcomed its first guests. Since that time, the church’s ministry has grown by a hundredfold, providing a broad continuum of care as well as innovative wellness programs and services.
