-LCMS Convention Coverage-

Most of us pay attention to what happens in our local congregation because we care about its future. In the same way, conventions of the Synod, our larger church body, shape the ministries we share together—missions, seminaries, church worker care, disaster response, education, and countless other efforts that no single congregation could accomplish alone. Staying informed of the events taking place at this year’s convention is one way we participate in God's work beyond our own walls. To find out what is taking place in Arizona on a daily basis, please visit this site.   -Chris Wethman
