MOVING FROM DEATH TO LIFE
Abiding in the Truth of God's Word

      Life Ministry Convocation     

Oct. 17–18, 2025       Rochester, Minn.

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. . . . But, if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.   — 1 John 3:14, 17–18 (ESV)

Respond to the call to promote a culture of life and join us for a highly informative and inspirational convocation which features fervent teaching and proclamation from several different speakers. Representatives from pro-life Christian ministries will be present to provide resources for God’s people to become better equipped in speaking up for life and teaching about the sanctity of human life. Prayer services will also be led by ordained ministers of the LCMS.
