An Invitation to the Eighth Annual
ACELC Free Conference
The date of the Eighth Annual ACELC “Free Conference” and Business Meeting is August 28-30, 2018 (Business Meeting is the 30th, until noon). It is being held at Trinity Lutheran Church, Kearney, MO. The theme of this year's Conference is a topic which the Church militant has been dealing with since the days of Old Testament Israel, and which has been no small troubler of the new Israel within the LCMS: “Christ For Us: Unionism & Syncretism.”
The speakers for this year's Conference are: Rev. Daniel Freeman, Rev. Dr. Martin Noland, Rev. Robert Morris, Rev. Joel Brondos, and Rev. Jonathan Lange.

What: This Conference is designed to address doctrinal and practical issues in the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod.
