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.
This profile was extracted from the nominee publication. Verify the official nominee materials before making voting decisions.

Additional official source text
Keith Wayne Schweitzer, Greenfield, IA; Immanuel, Greenfield IA (IW);
LCMS 58; Pastor. C: Pastor 37.
Being an alumnus of Concordia University Austin, my prayer and goal in serving in this office would be to help facilitate healing from this fractured and painful relationship between CTX and The Lutheran—Church Missouri Synod. T wo institutions Ilove dearly. I would work to help CTX return to the family of Concordias within the Concordia University System with its unique position as a distinctly Lutheran university and the only Concordia university in the southern United States.
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.
