Church Closure Information

While the end of a ministry is never an easy time, the Ohio District Congregational Closure Committee is a resource to assist a congregation that is considering closure. This committee provides guidance regarding legal considerations, closing administration, property distribution, congregational records management and any other questions or concerns that weigh on the minds of congregational leaders or members.

The link below discusses the procedures for closure. Please contact Lisa Rachul at rachull@oh.lcms.org for more detail information and assistance.

As congregations of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, we see ourselves as part of the universal Christian Church, relying on the Sacred Scriptures as the sole and final norm for faith and life. We work and pray that we would be a community of Christian congregations, faithful to the Word of God, and committed to supporting each congregation's efforts to be an agent of God's love from its neighborhood to the ends of the earth.
