We are stronger together when we are working together.
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-10a, 12 (ESV)
What is the Lay Leadership Summit?
From rural to urban ministries, small to large congregations, and whether you are new to church leadership or a seasoned veteran, we are grateful for each of our lay leaders.
With the theme “Together Towards Tomorrow,” the inaugural Lay Leadership Summit held in 2024 sought to gather lay leaders from all parts of the District to worship our Lord, build one another up in our given roles, and provide best practices in order to better equip you to effectively fulfill your service to our Lord and His people. We were blessed to serve over 300 attendees at that event!
2025 Save the Date!
The 2025 Lay Leadership Summit will be held on Saturday, August 23, 2025 at Walther Christian Academy.
This summit is designed to bring together lay leaders from all parts of the District to:
- Worship our Lord
- Build one another up in our given talents
- Provide best practices for effective service
- Provide practical application across a number of disciplines
This year’s keynote presenter will be Rev. Dr. Chad Lakies, Vice President of Ministry Engagement with Lutheran Hour Ministries.
Our 2nd annual Lay Leadership Summit workshops will have options ranging from best practices in congregational administration to the latest in healthy small church ministry ideas. There will also be a special Sunday School and Family Ministry track for lay members who serve those vital areas of congregational life.
