LMC Updates

"I can't wait for Assembly '26!

I've just celebrated being on staff at LMC for a year. When I started last October, I was still learning who we are and where we're headed. However, I was encouraged and energized by our growing and diverse body of congregations and looked forward to opportunities for connection.

And it was at our Fall Leadership Assembly in September where I truly felt like I was experiencing the full breadth and beauty of our LMC family for the first time.

For months, I excitedly tracked registrations, happy to see LMC leaders signing up from across thirteen states, twenty-five districts, and over 120 congregations! We also had a large turnout of our Spanish-speaking sisters and brothers and had Spanish translation available.

I was deeply moved by the Spirit in our midst as we gathered. My love and passion for this LMC family was only further stoked, and I am praying the Lord will continue to move our community closer to this Revelation 7:9 vision.

Don't miss out on being a part of what the Lord is doing across LMC! I hope you'll join me in Millersville, PA for our first ever Assembly, a conference-wide event for anyone who is a part of our community. More details on registration below."
