Serving God’s Family—Living His Good News
We serve God’s family, encouraging them to be fully engaged in living and sharing the Good News of Jesus.
This is the mission of the Nebraska District LCMS and I have the honor of serving you, God’s family gathered in this portion of His Kingdom. As I serve you, I hope that we would encourage one another to be fully engaged in living and sharing the Good News of Jesus.
Please browse through our Strategic Priorities through the Cultivate, Connect, and Care buttons below and consider the various opportunities to work together to discover your unique mission and ministry goals, needs, plans and priorities. It would be my pleasure to serve you as we continue to walk and work together in His Kingdom.”
