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 believe in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I believe that The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod’s doctrines are in accordance with Holy Scripture. I understand that the LCMS Board of Directors faces many challenges, and I pray daily that the Lord would grant this board discernment and wisdom to follow His will.
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.
