WELS Association of Lutheran High Schools conference presentation
On March 6, 2025, WELS Foundation will sponsor the Mission Advancement sectionals at the WELS Association of Lutheran High Schools conference at the Sheraton, Brookfield, Wis. We welcome Josh Birkholz, CEO of BWF, as our keynote speaker.
Sectional presentation information:
- Bible study: Rev. Kurt Lueneburg, director of WELS Ministry of Christian Giving, will lead us in a discussion of biblical principles that guide our mission advancement efforts.
- Session 1: The State of Giving to Christian Ministries: We’ve come through a period of many changes. From the pandemic to economic pressures, many giving patterns have changed. Christian ministries have also seen both changes and opportunities to advance their giving programs. In this section, national philanthropy leader Josh Birkholz will outline the state of giving and how WELS organizations can accelerate their giving programs.
- Session 2: Maintaining a Thriving Prospect Pool: For many organizations, staffed prospect research and management departments are a luxury. Nevertheless, the need for identifying prospects, prioritizing opportunities, and moving them through their giving journey is paramount to a strong development program. Josh Birkholz will relate the leading approaches to prospect development in this dynamic session. Expect to understand the fundamentals evaluating your pipeline to grow your advancement program.
- Mission Advancement Roundtable: This roundtable will allow participants to discuss issues and opportunities they are facing in their ministry.
