Rev. Larson Re-Elected as CLB President

The Church of the Lutheran Brethren met for our 2020 Biennial Convention beginning on Saturday, June 11 through Tuesday, June 14. This was the first time we had met together since 2018, because of the cancellation of our 2020 Convention due to COVID.
We enjoyed good preaching and teaching, we processed the initial stages of a position paper, we launched our new ministry advancement initiative—Disciple-Making Church, we agreed to constitutional amendments, and we had an election of the CLB President and Council of Directors members.
