LCC President Teuscher and West Regional Pastor Mohns will not stand for reelection in 2026

CANADA – Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC) President Timothy Teuscher and West Regional Pastor Robert Mohns have announced that they will not be letting their names stand for reelection at the 2026 Synod Convention. Both were first elected in 2017 and subsequently acclaimed without opposition to second terms in 2022.

We give thanks to the Lord for the faithful and dedicated service of President Teuscher and Rev. Mohns, and for the leadership they have provided to our synod over the past two convention cycles.

In preparation for the 2026 Synod Convention, taking place June 12-15 in Winnipeg, LCC’s national office will send nomination forms to congregations in September. These forms will invite nominations of clergy from LCC’s roster for the offices of president, vice-president, regional pastors, and circuit counsellors. Congregations are encouraged to schedule a voters’ meeting prior to the February 12, 2026 deadline to prayerfully consider and submit nominations for these important roles.
