Personal Statement
The church of God is established, strengthened, and sustained by the Word of God and the Holy Sacraments. They are our only source of life in this fallen world. Indeed, in this world that church of God faces tribulation—persecution, false prophets, false doctrine, persistent sin—but Christ our Lord gives peace: “Take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Let us in the LCMS, who know that tribulation acutely, press on with the joy of Christ victorious and boldly “make a defense to anyone who asks us for a reason for the hope that is in us” (1 Peter 3:15).

First Vice-President
Personal Statement
I am honored to have been nominated again to serve again as Vice-President of our beloved Synod as we work together with our President to confess the faith in this fallen world. My prayer is that God will use me and the abilities He has given me to continue to humbly serve and encourage our congregations in scriptural and confessional unity as we seek to equip leaders with training and resources and to promote outreach that reflects Christ’s love in our hearts and churches by listening carefully, communicating clearly, and working faithfully. I would be privileged to continue to serve our beloved Synod in this way. May God bless us as we walk together in the light of Christ’s love!
