July 1, 2023 - The 2023 LCMS convention gives the entire Synod an opportunity to preach Christ crucified to all people. In advance of the convention itself, and lasting through 2026, the LCMS National Offering will help fund the translation of carefully selected Lutheran evangelism and teaching resources into other languages. This effort is about Jesus Christ — for all people.
We would be blessed by your participation. More importantly, there are people who want to know Christ and Him crucified who would be immeasurably blessed by your help.
Your voice and endorsement is so incredibly important, just as you are to the overall mission of our Synod. Together, we preach Christ crucified for all people! Learn more about the National Offering and quickly access resources by visiting lcms.org/convention/national/offering.
