DESCRIPTION:Lutheran Church Extension Fund will host a free lunch-and-learn titled “Strengthening and Sustaining Small(ish) Churches: The Basics and Beyond” at noon on Monday\, July 20\, at the Phoenix Convention Center during the 2026 LCMS Convention. \n\n\n\nJoin Rev. Tom Eggebrecht\, Senior Vice President-Ministry Solutions of LCEF\, and learn the eight key traits of a self-sustaining congregation in The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. From pastoral care to lay leadership\, from ministry plans to facilities and finances\, it’s all part of impactful Gospel proclamation inside the walls of the church and beyond into the community. \n\n\n\n The thought-provoking gathering is for both pastoral and lay leaders with a desire to faithfully proclaim\, “Christ is risen\, indeed!” in this generation. A free guide will be presented to each attendee.  \n\n\n\nThis luncheon will be limited to 200 attendees. Register online for a time of learning\, food and fellowship. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister
