The church’s mission is to share the saving Gospel message of Jesus. It is solely about Jesus! Schools within our LCMS have the great privilege of sharing Him using the language of academics and extracurricular opportunities. Schools are an excellent avenue to do this every day. I have been blessed to be part of this ministry for almost 30 years. I have been a high school teacher, a coach, an administrator, a member of the Board of Regents for CSP , and on accreditation teams. LCMS schools need to be supported, encouraged, and improved! I stand ready to help.
