English District Living Our Baptized Life in Christ is the mission of the English District. Our non-geographic district is made up of 155 congrega - tions in 22 states across the United States and the Canadian province of Ontario. The district is divided into four regions: Eastern, Lake Erie, Midwest, and Western. The bishop/president, Rev. Jeffrey Miskus, assumed the presidency a year before the convention (where he was elected) when our previous president, Rev. Dr. Jamison Hardy, was called by Concordia University System to lead their ministry.
A. Strengthening the Church in Faith The English District is committed to conserving and promoting the unity of the one true faith. That objective is pursued as our bishop visits about 60 congregations each year. He also has a one-hour online conversation with every active pastor in our district, encouraging and praying for them.
During his congregational visits our bishop intentionally calls men of all ages to prayerfully consider becoming pastors in our Synod. He also actively distributes the Set Apart to Serve brochure highlighting the eight church work vocations in the LCMS, encouraging everyone to consider professional church work.
Our circuit visitors and regional vice-presidents meet two to three times a year with our bishop in regional online meetings to communicate what is happening in the circuits and to review Synod Bylaws and procedures in the Circuit Visitors Manual pertaining to the care and ecclesiastical oversight of the congregations.
A major part of our district’s ministry is working together with
