Our Case Document
The question has often arisen about the need for church workers. We invite you to read our "Case Document" for a thorough review of the need of the LC-MS to make recruitment and retention of church workers a part of our culture. Join us in this joyful and necessary effort.
Thesis: The LCMS must undertake fervent efforts to identify, inform, and encourage appropriate 2 candidates to serve as ordained and commissioned ministers of religion, and must implement strategies 3 through which ordained and commissioned ministers might be more effectively retained in their service. 4 This is especially true in the non-white ethnic groups whose collective population in the United States is 5 projected to grow dramatically by 2050.
