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.

President Gerald Kieschnick Has Earned Re-election
Gerald B. Kieschnick was first elected President of The Lutheran Church –Missouri Synod in the 2001 Synod Convention.  He is now finishing his ninth year in office.  The key question for the 1,200 delegates at the 2010 Synod Convention in July is, Does he deserve a fourth term?  Or, to rephrase, can someone else do a better job for the next three years?

Synod Has Had Effective Mission Leadership
President Gerald Kieschnick and First Vice President Bill Diekelman have given great leadership to helping international mission work of Synod recover from a downturn and to expand in the last triennium.  Let’s look at the numbers.

Change in the LCMS Has Had Noble History
Any suggestion that the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod hasn’t/won’t/can’t adapt to a changing world is categorically contradicted by its history from when the earliest Saxon segment of our ancestry arrived here in the late 1830s until now.
