Nominee study-aid caution

This Nominees reader is an AI-assisted, file-extracted study aid. It is not the official ballot, not an official LCMS nominee resource, and not a voting recommendation. Extraction tools can miss names, misplace candidates, omit cross-listed offices, mismatch photos, or format details incorrectly. Always verify every nominee name, office, region, board, commission, page number, and ballot detail against the official LCMS nominee publication and final convention ballot before making voting judgments.

I would be honored to serve on the Concordia University System Board of Directors as it works with our Synod’s universities and their mission of educating and training up servants for the church and for the world. I would approach this position with a willingness to provide any guidance I can and a desire to learn how best to facilitate strong relationships and understanding between our congregations and universities. Our Concordia universities are a great blessing and deserve solid biblical, confessional, and adept leadership to help them carry out the common mission of the church in our time and place.

Pause and Pray at 3:07 p.m.

At 3:07 each day, remember John 15:7 and pray for Christ's Church, the convention, our leaders, and the work of the Gospel among us.
