A message from the board president

As I begin my service as president of the board of Lutheran Campus Ministry at Northwestern, I am continually inspired by the transformative power of this community. My own journey with this ministry spans generations—from my wife and I finding our spiritual home here as students, to the joy of watching our daughter experience the same nurturing community years later. Whether it's current students discovering their faith amidst academic pressures or alumni who still treasure connections made decades ago, the impact of this ministry ripples through lives in profound ways. Our campus ministry provides not just worship and fellowship, but a place where students can explore difficult questions, develop leadership skills, and form relationships that last a lifetime. Your continued generosity makes all of this possible—creating a foundation where Northwestern students can grow in faith and purpose during these formative years. Thank you for helping us nurture the next generation of thoughtful, compassionate followers of Jesus.
