I am honored to be nominated for a position on the Lutheran Church Extension Fund Board of Directors. I view LCEF as a critical tool for the Synod’s job of supporting congregations in their ministry, witness, and outreach. I appreciate LCEF’s stewardship of financial resources to strengthen local congregations. If elected, I would provide disciplined governance, engage in collaborative teamwork, and communicate clearly to ensure that LCEF continues to be a strong and responsible partner in the church’s work.

Pause and Pray at 3:07 p.m.
