Call. Partner. Unleash. Multiply.
The Church of the Lutheran Brethren is a disciple-making church. We are committed to live out this calling through these four objectives: Call to Follow, Partner in Mission, Unleash New Leaders, and Multiply New Disciples. Below, we dive into this vision and our five-year goals for each ministry.
Disciple-Making Church
The Church of the Lutheran Brethren is a unique and vital part of the Bride of Christ. We have been entrusted as stewards of a great gift: an intersection of gospel truth by which we are saved and summoned to live and rest in gracious freedom; and a glad and expectant call to be joined to God’s Mission in bringing that gospel of Christ to our neighbors, near and among the nations. Indeed, we are a people restful in grace and restless in mission. It is not for their own ends that our Seminary trains and raises up pastors and missionaries, that our North American Mission plants churches, nor that our International Mission sends missionaries. It is that together and with all of you we follow Christ in one solitary calling: to be and make his disciples. The CLB has always been this. And in this new day of challenge and opportunity, I ask you to join me as we seek more to be, and renewed as, a Disciple-Making Church.
CALL to Follow
We are a people called, shaped, and sent under the Word. We must hear this Word again to repent, trust, and follow Christ in sacrificially loving, serving, reconciling, and connecting our neighbors with Jesus, his community, and his mission.
PARTNER in Mission
Foster the interdependence of individuals, congregations, regions, and synod in disciple making.
UNLEASH New Leaders

MULTIPLY New Disciples

Connecting people to Jesus, his community, and his mission.
Join the Mission
We are actively seeking individuals to plant churches, become missionaries, and to partner financially with us in sustaining and advancing the mission of the Church of the Lutheran Brethren. If the Lord has given you a passion for making disciples or the means to participate financially, we would love to hear from you.
