Almost 2000 leaders have enrolled in one of the excellent training programs now offered by The LCMS Foundation. Sessions are led by experienced and knowledgeable instructors, who share in a passion to "teach to faithful men and women the things that we have learned." Attendees are telling us we are providing value:

Excellent, thought provoking (maybe even seminal) presentation.
Leonard Busch, Tulsa, Oklahoma – Pastoral Leadership Institute (PLI)

Uncover the Promise has helped the LCMS Foundation tell our publics who we are, what we do and why we do it. We are enjoying great benefits from both the process and the product.
Rev. Thomas Ries, President, The LCMS Foundation

Because of this training on Promise, we have narrowed our focus down to what we stand for.
William Cochran, Executive Director, LCMS Schools Ministry, St. Louis, Missouri

In the relationship building process, The LCMS Foundation has the best training I’ve experienced.
Ron Smith, North Wisconsin District

I have attended this training on Development and it is worth every penny. The principles can be applied in a congregation, a school, or in almost any kind of ministry setting.
Rev. Wayne Schroeder, former Stewardship Executive, South Wisconsin District-LCMS

This Gift Development Training was very beneficial.
Rev. Mark Tieke, St. Peter Lutheran Church, Columbus, IN- PLI Training

The program was probably one of the most spiritually significant days in the history of the North Wisconsin District.
District President Emeritus Arliegh Lutz
