How is Show Me Lutheran TEC organized?
Show Me Lutheran TEC is a volunteer, not-for-profit organization or community that hosts three day retreats for young people. Show Me Lutheran TEC operates under a complete constitution and set of by-laws. The organization is led by an elected Board of Directors consisting of LCMS adults, clergy and youth along with an appointed set of Advisors and Loving Task individuals. All positions, elected or appointed, are volunteer. The organization is self supported by retreat fees and charitable donations. Show Me Lutheran TEC also has a copyrighted manual that is used to facilitate each retreat and ensure consistency.
The Show Me TEC Board meets monthly on the second Saturday of the month. We conduct semi-annual meetings of the community each year in February and in the summer. Show Me Lutheran TEC has the following mailing address:
Show Me Lutheran TEC, Inc.
c/o Concordia Lutheran Church
505 South Kirkwood Road
Kirkwood, MO 63122-5925
The retreats themselves are led by LCMS clergy and LCMS lay adults and are held three or four times per year at local LCMS congregations in the metropolitan St. Louis area. The target participants are Lutheran youth between the ages of 16 and 20 although Christians of all ages are welcome to attend.
