LMDJ seeks to serve congregations and conferences through collaborative efforts

CHICAGO, IL (November 7, 2018) – Applications for the position of executive minister of the Love Mercy Do Justice (LMDJ) ministry priority are due Saturday

The executive minister is elected every four years at the Annual Meeting following a process that includes approval by the Executive Board.
