For many people, this past year has been a year of confusion and fear. Many of our congregations have found new ways to connect while maintaining physical distance. Many have been creative with how to engage in activities with others.

Together, we work to support future leaders of the church. In partnership with the bishop, his staff, mission district deans, seminary representatives and internship supervisors, we seek to prayerfully guide qualified candidates as they move through the educational process and discern God’s call to ministry.

Treasurer, Mr. Ryan Schwarz presents the following report and proposed 2021 budget for approval by the delegates of the 2020 Mission Convocation. 

The NALC Executive Council presents the following proposed rules of procedure and agenda.

The 2020 Nominating Committee presents the candidates named below for positions to be elected at the August Mission Convocation. We believe that all the individuals named are qualified and would do well in their service if elected.

The NALC Executive Council met online on April 28-29 and voted to propose to the 2020 Convocation amendments to the NALC Constitution in three areas: 1) move from an annual to a biennial convocation; 2) name regional subdivisions of the NALC as Mission Districts; and 3) clarify the process by which the Executive Council apportions more lay delegates to the convocation so there is approximately an equal number of lay and clergy delegates.

We praise God for these newly ordained NALC pastors.

Praise God for the calling He has placed on the lives of these candidates.
