LCMS U Campus Ministry Staff Conference

LCMS U Campus Ministry Staff Conference


The LCMS U Campus Ministry Staff Conference will be held May 31 through June 1 at University Lutheran Chapel in Minneapolis. The conference theme is “Engaging the Collegiate Mind.”

The speakers will be Dr. Adam Francisco, the Rev. Dr. Jon Bruss, and the Rev. Eric Andrae. We hope that long-term ministry leaders — pastors, commissioned workers, and other campus workers — will join us for support and networking.

This conference is for pastors, DCEs, deaconesses and others who are leading campus ministries in the LCMS. Its purpose is to:

  • Facilitate networking among campus ministry leaders;
  • Facilitate sharing of ideas; and
  • Provide theological education and discussion, including plenary presentations, breakout sessions and a panel discussion.
