A Renewal Weekend is more than a program.
- It is a means of awakening a congregation to a more vital relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
- It is an oppportunity for spiritual growth and a deeper commitment to Jesus as Lord and Savior.
- It is a resource for building deeper Christian community in your faith community.
- It is a way for Christians to recognize God's call in their lives to do the ministry work of the church.
- It is a weekend that lifts high the risen Christ.
On the flip side, Lutheran Lay Renewal is NOT a cure-all for problems your church might be experiencing, and it is NOT an entertainment medium. It is a Christ centered ministry that will make a lasting impact in the lives of individual Christians and in the life of your congregaton as a whole. Our team members do NOT come to teach or preach, but come with an attitude of love and acceptance.
We are an independent ministry and will serve any Lutheran (or any Christian) congregation, regardless of synodical affliliation.
The visiting team members stay in the homes as guests of local church members, and they travel at their own expense to the hosting congregation. We witness by listening as well as sharing. We do not pressure anyone, but will seek to communicated love and understanding, as well as share what God has done and continues to do in our lives.
