and require ethical behavior based on that confession on the part of
faculty, staff, and students through full implementation of the “Identity
Statement” and its protocols in both on-campus and distanceeducation programs.
Increase the number of church work students by at least one-third
through multiple efforts to highlight the rewarding and noble calling of service to Christ and His church in parochial education, public
education, and international education. Simultaneously, increase the
number of LCMS students by one-third.
Enhance the recruitment and development of LCMS faculty by at least
10 percent throughout the system in all program areas and encourage all nonrostered faculty to participate in the colloquy program and
thereby increase the number of rostered workers while promoting the
training of students through the various graduate programs, especially
in education and in other ministry areas.
Recommend to all students—whatever religious background—the
Reformation truths of sola gratia, sola fide, sola Scriptura while challenging materialism, pluralism, rationalism, and other world views
that contradict the scriptural portrait of man and woman as the apex
of God’s creation and the object of His love and mercy in sending His
Son, Jesus Christ, as Savior.
Present and promote the sanctity of life by underscoring the fact that
men and women are created in the image of God and merit care and
protection from conception to natural death by their very nature as
His creatures.
Present and promote the beauty and goodness of marriage between
a man and a woman as God’s sacred order to be lived out in love and
lifelong fidelity while also affirming the nobility and virtue of the
vocation to a single life in service to God and neighbor.
Accent the quality of instruction in the liberal arts and professional
programs as an expression of gratitude for God’s gift of wisdom and
knowledge in a life that is spent in service to God and our neighbor.
Increase communication and collaboration between the colleges and
universities, especially in the areas of distance education and recruitment, while reaching out to collaborate with other ministries of the
church—Urban Ministry, Rural Ministry, Partners Abroad, etc.
Soli Deo Gloria!
