Jesus First Home Page

Jesus First is a rapidly-growing movement within The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. We believe Christ has called the church to be Gospel-centered, mission-driven, and future-oriented. We want the Gospel to remain first in our personal faith and in our relationships with each other. We call on all church leaders to make sure Jesus' way of love and mission to others remains the highest priority in the life and ministries of the whole church.

All Districts to Meet in Convention
Some things to remember about the District Conventions of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod: All districts of the Synod will have a Convention between January and July 2009. All congregations of the Synod have the opportunity to be represented at these conventions with two votes – one by the pastor of the congregation and one by a baptized, non-rostered member of the congregation.
