CONGREGATION OFFICERS

All district congregations should acquire and maintain the most current edition of the Congregational Treasurer’s Manual, which is written and published by the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, St. Louis, MO.

Treasurers are encouraged to take the time to familiarize themselves with the contents of the manual because the answers to many of your questions are clearly spelled out and easily accessible. Please use this reference manual when faced with questions involving:

  • Employment issues
  • Federal and state tax matters
  • Congregational organization and administration
  • Accounting and finance
  • LCMS support organizations/materials

DIscipleship

The LCMS Eastern District has a new tool for church leaders and Elders to help you encourage and challenge each other to grow in such spiritual disciplines such as: 

  • daily prayer
  • daily Scripture reading
  • regular worship
  • growth in giving
  • serving others in Jesus’ name
  • and sharing the Good News with the unchurched.
