Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod

Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) will equip and empower LCMS congregations to think intentionally about nurturing the faith of children through their direct, active participation in corporate worship and to grow in their appreciation of this powerful, inclusive and rich Christian context. The ONM will create two cohorts of 12 congregations each to develop and refine in-context, intergenerational pilot projects around three multi-sensory focal centers of Lutheran worship practice: 1) Hearing and singing in the balcony and pew; 2) Care through beauty and touch from the sacristy; and 3) Movement and ritual in the chancel.
