A New Movement to Strengthen Congregations

A New Movement to Strengthen Congregations

The Leadership Shortage is Here. Discover a Path Forward

Pastors are retiring or leaving ministry faster than new leaders are being raised up. Congregations feel stuck. Communities are losing Gospel presence. But decline is not inevitable.

That’s why we invite you to the Momentum Network Information Meeting on Monday, November 10, 2025, at 7:30 pm (ET).

You’ll hear from:
• Dr. Dennis Bielfeldt, President, Institute of Lutheran Theology
• Kip Tyler, President, ILT Board of Directors
• Dr. Tracee J. Swank, Church Doctor Ministries

Together, they’ll introduce the Momentum Network — a movement designed to equip churches like yours to face reality with courage, renew vitality, and multiply disciples.

Join us to explore how Momentum can strengthen your ministry and prepare your congregation for the future.
