Regional Mission Summits
Are an opportunity for you and your congregation to learn simple, doable ways to engage your neighborhood and see new people come to faith, baptism and discipleship in your congregation!
 If your congregation is declining and you want to do something but you aren’t sure what to do.  If you realize the world around your  church has changed.  Then the Southern District Mission Summits are for you.
Congregations who have attended Summits in the past, and have put what they learned into practice, are seeing results.  Jesus is saving people all around you, why shouldn’t your congregation grow with new people from the harvest?  You can with what you and your lay people will learn at the Mission Summit.
The Summits are led by Lutheran Pastor Greg Finke who has been involved in developing simple, doable ways of reaching people in neighborhoods for more than 20 years.
