Southeastern District, LCMS

The 215 congregations and missions and the 95 schools of the Southeastern District face many challenges as they seek to reach out to communities around them. Communities filled with people who don't know Jesus as Lord, who hunger for spiritual meaning, and who are looking for something in which to hope. The Mission of the Southeastern District leadership is to help congregations strengthen themselves and each other in order that each congregation might more effectively understand and pursue its mission.

The Rev. Dr. Jon Diefenthaler, District President, shepherd of the congregations, schools and the professional church workers of the district.
