Keynote Speaker: Rev. Dr. Colleen Windham-Hughes
Location: First Lutheran Church, 1525 Three Cross Road, Milford, IA
Cost: $160
Deadline: Register by Oct. 11
The theme for Fall Theological stems from our 2026 Assembly Theme “We Are Here.”
We see the purpose of the reminder for ourselves and for our communities that the church of Western Iowa is still here. We are still present. We are still trying to serve our communities and proclaim the gospel.
Likewise, we also need to be realistic about the state that we find ourselves in. We need to be honest about the challenges that we are facing.
Required for all Rostered Leaders serving, SAMs, Candidates, Interims, & Pulpit Supply-even if retired. Retired pastors not serving do not need to attend. Church staff - those working with faith formation, youth, etc. are encouraged to attend.
