The following is a list of resources submitted by congregations in our district who have demonstrated their healthiness by growing in at least one of the identified areas of congregational ministry. The listing is in three forms: a printed resource, an electronic resource, or a person who has been a valued resource. If you have found a resource that was particularly helpful to your congregation’s health and growth, please contact Rev. Larry Bogardus at pastorlarry@stephenslcms.org, or Gary Norton, Regional Mission Facilitator, at gary.norton@psd-lcms.org.
