Responding to pastors' concerns, Lutheran Brotherhood reorganized its branch system. In 1971. Instead of being organized by congregations (which obscured the lines between Lutheran Brotherhood and individual congregations), Lutheran Brotherhood disbanded the congregational system and organized its members solely in geographical branches.

Lutheran Brotherhood and Aid Association for Lutherans launched a new Canadian fraternal benefit society, Lutheran Life Insurance Society of Canada, in 1973. The organization assumed all combined Canadian operations of the two fraternals including members, assets, obligations, field force and fraternal activities.

Lutheran Brotherhood moved into its current home office building on Fourth Avenue in downtown Minneapolis in 1981. Like its predecessor, the structure was architecturally distinctive, with a sweep of copper-colored windows gently sloping in three sections.

For the first time in its history, Lutheran Brotherhood in 1996 moved onto the Fortune 500 list of largest corporations in America. In 1999, Lutheran Brotherhood purchased a community bank, operating out of its main office downtown, with two branches also located in Minneapolis.
