Northern Illinois District

“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
— Galatians 2:20
Hello!
I’m honored to represent Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF) and support the ministries of the Northern Illinois District. Here’s a little about me:
- I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in education from Ball State University, completed a M.S.Ed. from Concordia University Ann Arbor and colloquized into the teaching office of the LCMS through Concordia University Chicago (CUC). I am currently working on a Doctorate of Business Administration from CUC.
- I am blessed to be married to Nicole since 2010, and we have two awesome kids: Ava and Carter.
- I’m a member of St. John Lutheran Church in Wheaton, Ill., where I get to work at the altar and am currently serving as the president of the governing board.
Since 1978, LCEF has walked alongside Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) congregations, schools, organizations, church workers and investors. As an LCMS partner, we share your Lutheran faith and commitment to the church—now and always.
God has richly blessed the Northern Illinois District, and I look forward to seeing the incredible ways He will work through His church in our district and beyond.
God’s blessings,
Joe Willman
