What if we could see how the LCMS is really doing — district by district?
Today, Pastor Tim Ahlman and Jack Kalleberg sit down with Pastor Jonathan Buescher, who compiled a comparative data study on all 35 LCMS districts — revealing surprising insights about membership, budgets, schools, and new church starts.
They explore:
- Which districts are growing and which are declining
- How funding and schools correlate with church vitality
- The future of circuits and district collaboration
- Why contextualization (not compromise) is key to mission growth
- What the data means for pastors, lay leaders, and the future of the LCMS
