Website Transition
The NWD website is under a nine week transition plan due to the elimination of a hosting service by our provider. The website will still be functional, but will not be updated with new events and resources during the transition time. Please contact the District Resources office directly for any updated information needed. Look for the new site sometime in August.

 
NWD Strategic Plan 
The NWD Board is considering the following three outcomes to achieve the NWD mission that states, "Encourage, network and equip Lutheran congregations of the NWD-LCMS to vigorously make known the love of Christ." Contact President Lueck for more information regarding board work or for help in creating your own ministry plan.
 
Outcome #1:  PROFESSIONAL CHURCH WORKERS will be encouraged, equipped and aided to fulfill their Calls and vocations.

Outcome #2:  CONGREGATIONS will be encouraged, equipped and aided to minister to the needs of all through Word and Sacrament.
 
Outcome #3:  DISTRICT MINISTRY RESOURCES AND AID - Ministry opportunities will be identified and resources deployed to collectively carry out Witness, Mercy and Life Together.
 
Youth Gatherings
The National Youth Gathering will be held in New Orleans in July. Over 460 people from the NWD will gather with 25,000+ LCMS members to worship, celebrate and grow under the theme In Christ Alone.

The WI State Youth Gathering will be held next year, November 3-5, 2017 at the Kalahari in WI Dells. Planning for this event has already begun with a team of leaders from both the NWD and the South WI District. Save the date information has been sent to all churches. Watch for details to come.
 
Hearts for Jesus - Peace Campus
Peace Campus Center has received nearly $5,400 from 19 churches that supported the NWD initiative for its annual Hearts for Jesus celebration in February.
