Reaching and Engaging Your Community

Join with the Missouri District and confront fears about witnessing and talking about our faith. Let’s engage our communities together. This webinar will present simple models for engaging your congregation’s community with the Gospel and helping your neighbors engage with the church.

Rev. John Perling serves as Pastor of Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church in St. Robert, Missouri, on Route 66 at the front gate of Fort Leonard Wood.  Pastor Perling continues to be an advocate for all the baptized working to speak the promises of our Lord Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit directs and gives opportunity in their various callings. Pastor Perling mentors Deaconess Student Mrs. Kimberly Bradford in small town rural ministry along MO-60 and is active in military ministry.
