Best Practices Review

Michelle Leahy • February 24, 2025

What do you get when you cross warm-ish weather, a little rain, lots of food, a pig suit, and over 2,000 LCMS ministry leaders eager to share their thoughts, successes, and challenges?

Best Practices for Ministry Conference 2025! Christ Church Lutheran in Phoenix, Arizona lives and breathes outrageous hospitality and is on a mission to support church leaders and share ideas to further the mission. They just wrapped up their 13th annual conference. This year, St. Peter's had the privilege of sending 3 staff members and 4 lay leaders to the conference, thanks in part to The Lutheran Foundation. Each returned fully fed both physically and spiritually. Ask one of them today about what they learned about things such as prayer, energy management, worship, legal & HR issues, leadership, dinosaurs, and more.
