It is vital to the mission of The
Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod
that we preserve its institutions of
higher learning while moving forward to meet the challenges of the
future. We must continue to offer an education of superior
quality, making available the best resources to prepare men
and women to faithfully and effectively serve in their vocations, whether they be full-time church workers or laypeople.
It would be an honor to serve on a board that supports the mission of Concordia University Wisconsin.

It is important for the future growth
of our Synod and the fulfillment of
our mission and the Great Commission to provide advanced
Christian-based education at the collegiate level, providing
Christian leaders capable of performing superior work in the
secular world while also witnessing to Christ crucified. Our
world’s problems are no different from any time in our past—
they just occur at a faster rate. Our own problems, to provide
for expanding needs with a shrinking funding source, will
continue to challenge us as we identify future programs and
directions while also keeping our overall mission in focus.

The focus to all schools in the
Concordia University System
should be to teach students Christ crucified as related to all
subject matter. This is for the sake of their own salvation and
that they may take this message out to the fallen world through
church-work and secular-world vocations.

As a nominee for the Board of
Regents at Concordia University
Wisconsin, I believe Martin Luther
had it right when he said, “Above all things, the principal
and most general subject of study, both in the higher and the
lower schools, should be the Holy Scriptures.” I believe that
it is critical for our children to continue their lifetime study in
the Holy Scriptures, which includes the solid foundation of
Lutheran education, to know the love of Christ for them, and
to make that love known to others through their vocations,
whatever that may be—father, mother, pastor, or president of
the United States.

People today are being impacted by false messages of hope
that take them farther away from the cross. Our mission is to
connect more people to a life in Jesus. If reelected to the Board
of Regents for Concordia University Wisconsin, I would strive
to work with the regents to make sure that Concordia does
not lose sight of its spiritual roots as it prepares future workers for the vineyard. It is my prayer that our church will work
together so that Jesus Christ is glorified.

The Synod exists to support its member congregations.
From a rich history of such support, LCMS is now poised to
strengthen the bonds with congregations in their witness and
