Kansas City, Missouri

Leaders at all levels of the church wish for more resources to make stewardship come alive: practical tools reinforced by theoretical and biblical knowledge that change the practice of stewardship from a once-a-year chore to a year-round call to discipleship.

Participants at this annual conference will come away equipped to carry out that call. The Synod of Lincoln Trails is one of the sponsors of this leadership event.

Visit the conference website for more information. See you in Kansas City!
