Full Title: "What Business does a Businessman have to do with the Business of the Church?"
It can be challenging for a lay person sitting in the pew of his/her local church to feel connected or valuable to the body of churches that make up the Church of the Lutheran Brethren. But individual ownership and engagement is vital to the health of not only the local congregation but to the greater Church. This seminar will provide a lay person’s perspective and experience in the blessing of intentionally engaging the mission of the Church.

Discipleship & Shepherding of Women
June 13, 2022 • Gretchen Ronnevik
From the sexual revolution, to debate over Biblical womanhood, women returning to the workplace, the homeschooling movement among Christians, to the #MeToo movement: inter-generational discipleship of women has become harder and disjointed, and distance is often created between women and their pastors. It often leads to either workaholic participation in church or complete disengagement. We’ll talk about these various challenges to the goal: getting the gospel to women and disciplining them in sound doctrine.
