Lutherans For Life Spring Gala!
You are cordially invited to join us for the Lutherans For Life Spring Fundraising Gala!
- Place: Concordia University Wisconsin – Mequon
- Date/Time: Friday, May 15, 2026, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Fellowship time begins at 5:30 p.m.)
- Location: Concordia Center For Environmental Stewardship Building (CCES)
See additional location info below.
Registration is open until May 1, 2026, or until all tables are sold out.
This special evening will bring together friends and supporters of Lutherans For Life for a time of fellowship, encouragement, and renewed commitment to the Gospel-centered mission of upholding the sanctity of human life.
The night will include a welcoming social hour, dinner, an inspiring keynote presentation, an update on Lutherans For Life and our LFL ministry teams, and an opportunity to support this life-affirming work through a fundraiser.
We are honored to welcome Katie Coblentz as our guest speaker. Katie will share her powerful personal story of identifying as transgender in her teenage years, undergoing medical interventions and surgeries in her teens and early twenties, and ultimately de-transitioning and getting married to a future LCMS pastor. Her testimony offers a compelling perspective on identity, truth, healing, and hope in Christ.
We also invite your church to consider hosting a table at the gala for $750, which includes seating for eight guests—a wonderful opportunity to gather members of your congregation for an evening of encouragement and purpose.
Individual seats are also available for $100 per person. Whether you reserve a full table or attend individually, your presence and partnership will help strengthen and sustain this vital life ministry.
