The 2026 South Wisconsin District Fall Pastors' Conference will focus on Stewardship of the Gospel in the Family, equipping pastors to strengthen family discipleship within the home and congregation. Presenters Rev. Andy Becker, Director of Family Discipleship for the LCMS Office of National Missions, and Rev. Dr. Todd A. Biermann, Executive Director of Concordia Center for the Family, will explore the biblical and confessional foundations of family discipleship, the complementary roles of the home and congregation in forming disciples, and practical ways pastors can faithfully steward the Gospel in their own families and ministries. Through presentations, discussion, and a panel Q&A, participants will be encouraged and equipped to support Christian households and congregations as they proclaim and live out the life-giving Gospel of Jesus Christ together.

The venue for this event will be the Chula Vista Resort (1000 Chula Vista Parkway in Wisconsin Dells).
