Having served 13 years on Synod’s Board of Directors, I bring extensive experience in the administration and needs of various programs synodwide. I have no preconceived program or platform other than ensuring our congregations and our ordained and commissioned church workers receive full cooperation and reviews for the best financial support possible and to support the needs and ministries of the LCMS.
