keynote 1
The Holy Spirit Has Called Me by the Gospel
- Every Christian, whether husband, wife, father, mother, son, or daughter has the same vocation, to believe the Gospel and to walk in a manner worthy of that call (Ephesians 4:1). What is the call to be a Christian? What must everyone, regardless of station in life, keep in mind?
- We will learn how to do salutary and sustainable daily family devotions in service to this call.
Presented by:
The Confessional Lutheran Homeschool League is dedicated to supporting current homeschoolers, equipping future homeschoolers and encouraging those considering homeschooling from a confessional Lutheran perspective.

Consider Your Place in Life…
Are You a Father, Mother, Son, Daughter, Husband, Wife, or Worker?
Are You a Father, Mother, Son, Daughter, Husband, Wife, or Worker?
- Having first learned the common call of all Christians, regardless of station in life, we will then learn how each station in the Christian homeschool family serves this primal call to be a Christian.
Held At:
Holy Cross is a member congregation of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod in the Iowa West District. We invite you to join us for Christ-centered Divine Service of God's Word and Sacrament, using the historic liturgy of the Christian faith.
Pastor of
Holy Cross Lutheran Church
Rev. Kevin Johnson Mdiv
Rev. Kevin Johnson was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa where he met his wife Ceci in German class. After serving in the United States Marine Corps and graduating with a degree in architecture from Iowa State University, he attended Concordia Seminary, St. Louis until being called to be pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Carlisle, Iowa in 2004. Along with Ceci, Pastor Johnson has been blessed to be able to use his experiences as a veteran, architect and pastor to teach his own children, as well as other youth in the congregation’s homeschool co-op. Both Pastor Johnson and Ceci are overjoyed to say that homeschooling was a blessing to their family and their two daughters have grown into exceptional young Christian women.
