Reminder to Rostered Workers
The LCMS Lutheran Annual has sent your information form to confirm or update for Synod. Please take care of this promptly.
This is a reminder to especially look at your ROSTER STATUS and district designations. Every year there are several who find they are not listed as they think they should be. If your roster status is wrong (called, candidate or emeritus), it needs to be changed with our district president's office (ordained) or education office (commissioned). Email or call (708-449-3020) to inquire about a change. Despite best efforts, slip-ups can occur. This is your annual verification of the official record Synod has for you, which potentially can affect your creditable years of service, IRS standing or any number of things.
If you need your login information, you can email rosters.stats@lcms.org or call the Church Information Center at 888-843-5267.
