A thriving Lutheran school ministry depends on the partnership between pastors and administrators. Together, we can lead with faith, purpose, and unity, ensuring church and school align in their mission to provide a Christ-centered education.
This conference will explore best practices that empower pastors and administrators to work together effectively, focusing on:
Be inspired. Strengthen your partnership. Lead with Christ at the center.
