LCMS National Mission

Gathered under the theme “From Generation to Generation,” campus ministry practitioners from across the country attending the LCMS U staff conference in Lawrence, Kan. had the opportunity to sit at the feet of highly trained theologians as well as some of the most experienced pastors and workers engaged in campus ministry today. Participants also had ample time to network and learn from one another on how best to serve the students in their care. The Office of National Mission gives thanks for their partnership and looks forward to continuing our support of the great work that is taking place on so many college campuses across the United States.

How will the 2026 National Offering support efforts by local congregations and ministries? The Rev. Dan Galchutt (Chief Mission Officer, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod), Deaconess Dr. Tiffany Manor (Managing Director, LCMS Office of National Mission) and the Rev. Andy Becker (Director of Family Ministry, LCMS Office of National Mission) join Andy and Sarah to talk about how past National Offerings have made a difference for the church, who contributes to a National Offering, what the theme “Christ is Risen! Tell the Next Generation” means for the upcoming triennium, how this offering will serve the church, the types of projects that can be supported through grants from the National Offering, and how churches can prepare to support this National Offering.

2026-2029 LCMS National Offering Every three years, LCMS households, congregations and organizations are invited and encouraged to participate in a Synodwide gathering of special gifts called the National Offering.
