A Personal Invitation

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I would like to personally invite you to attend the 2026 ACELC Conference, which will be held this year at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Lincoln, Nebraska on June 16th & 17th.

The conference theme is Walking Together: Next Steps. As Lutherans who love Christ, His Word, and our Synod, we all desire greater unity in doctrine and practice. This year's conference will consider some practical ways that we might continue to walk together in faithfulness to the Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions.

We are blessed to have several excellent speakers addressing a variety of important topics:

• Rev. Dr. James Lee — “How Did Lutherans Navigate Confessional Subscription in the Past? What Might That Tell Us for the Future?”
• Rev. Dr. Gifford Grobien — “The Bible and Theology as a Correction for Slogan Drift”
• Mr. Tim Wood — “Helpful Reform Toward Church Discipline and a Judiciary in the LCMS”
• Rev. Bryan Stecker — “What Steps Might We Take to Walk Together?”
• Banquet Speaker: Rev. Scott Adle

The conference will be broadcast live on KNNA and online, but I encourage you to attend in person if you are able. The presentations themselves are worthwhile, but so is the opportunity to visit with fellow pastors and laymen, ask questions, share ideas, and encourage one another in the faith.

The ACELC exists to encourage faithfulness to Holy Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions within the LCMS. Whether you have attended previous conferences or are simply interested in learning more, I believe you will find the discussions helpful, thoughtful, and worthwhile.

I hope you will consider joining us this June. We would be honored to welcome you to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and to spend a few days together around God's Word and our shared confession of the faith.

Please keep the conference, its speakers, and all who attend in your prayers.

 

In Christ,
