2027 Kansas District Life Conference
January 27, 2027
St. John Ev. Lutheran Church, Topeka
Join us for the annual Kansas District Life Conference on Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2027, at St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church in Topeka at 901 SW Fillmore Street.
The Life Conference keynote speaker will be Deaconess Jessica Thompson, Director of Program and Ministry Services for Redeeming Life Outreach Ministries. The Kansas March and Rally for Life will follow the Life Conference in downtown Topeka at the State Capitol.
Redeeming Life is a Recognized Service Organization of the LCMS that provides home, help, and hope to single, pregnant women in crisis. The organization operates two maternity homes in Sanford, Fla., and East Dundee, Ill. A third center is being planned for St. Louis, with fundraising underway.
Jessica was born and raised in Florida and spent her first season of ministry as a Lutheran school teacher. She moved with her family to Missouri in 2020 where she fell in love with the changing seasons, the great hiking, and the Midwestern hospitality. Jessica’s greatest joy is getting to witness Jesus’ love and His Word transform the lives of people. She feels blessed to be serving in an organization that gets to share that love with hurting women each day.
