The 104th Regular Convention of the Michigan District, LCMS will be held June 22–24, 2025, at Concordia University Ann Arbor. The convention theme, Nourished for the Journey: Remember, Renew, Return, was inspired by 1 Kings 19—remembering all that God has done and is currently doing despite our faithfulness and unfaithfulness; being renewed through Word and Sacrament in our callings and continued mission; and returning for service in our congregations and communities. In all, we are People of Hope prepared, rejuvenated, and blessed with faithful laity in this journey of the Church.
Delegates will gather in convention to celebrate God’s work among the District’s congregations and schools, including the blessings of Concordia University Ann Arbor. During the convention, delegates will be encouraged through worship, fellowship, spiritual growth, reports from partner ministries, and vision for greater service.
If your circuit has not held its circuit forum to select a circuit visitor or to conduct other official business, this must be scheduled before January 31, 2025. Please check with your circuit visitor if you have questions regarding the circuit forum or circuit visitor nominations.
