Plan now to attend DOXOLOGY’s 2026 Grand Reunion July 31-August 2 in Wichita, Kansas!

DOXOLOGY travels to Wichita, Kansas for a weekend of conversation, worship, fellowship, encouragement and engaging presentations for pastors and the women who love them.  Don’t miss this special weekend!  (Note: The Grand Reunion is a weekend of professional enrichment, spiritual refreshment, and personal enjoyment. If you’re single or your wife is unable to join you, please do come; it won’t be a “reunion,” after all, without you!)

DOXOLOGY is particularly pleased to have Rev. Dr. Todd Biermann and Rev. Timothy Koch serve as our featured speakers for Grand Reunion 2026.  DOX’s Executive Directors will also serve as speakers for this event.

• Dr. Biermann, Executive Director of Concordia Center for the Family, will be with us to offer valuable insights, resources, and encouragement for the faithful and challenging task of raising the Christian family.
• Rev. Koch, pastor at Zion Lutheran Church, in Linn, KS, will be speaking on the engaging and vital topic of neighborhood evangelism and the local congregation.  Presentations of his Jesus Door-to-Door (JD2D) program have been welcomed and enjoyed enormously by a number of LCMS congregations.
• DOXOLOGY Executive Directors Dr. Beverly Yahnke and Rev. David Fleming will address helpful strategies for living out our lives as joyful Christians in these gray and latter days.

Married to Heather Stange of Frankenmuth, MI in 1995, Rev. Dr. Todd A. Biermann has always had a passion for fostering marriages and families in God’s way. This was true in his role as a parish pastor of the LCMS for 33 years (most recently at Faith Lutheran, Grand Blanc, MI), in his international ministry with Heather, Life in God’s Way, and now as they both are working with Concordia Center for the Family (CCF), a Recognized Service Organization (RSO) of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS). Dr. Biermann’s educational path (BA at Concordia University Nebraska, MDiv at Concordia Seminary St. Louis and DMin at Concordia Theological Seminary Fort Wayne) along with a wide array of field experience has prepared him for his role as the Executive Director of CCF, which he was called to begin in February 2024. He rejoices in the privilege to promote family discipleship, uniting homes and congregations in making lifelong disciples of Jesus. Learn more about Dr. Biermann and CCF at concordiafamily.org. Contact him directly at toddbiermann@concordiafamily.org. 

Rev. Timothy Koch, M.Div, STM is the pastor at Zion Lutheran Church in Linn, KS. He also serves as the general editor of DOXOLOGY’s journal, Seelsorger: A Journal for the Contemporary Cure of Souls. He is the founder of Jesus Door-2-Door (JD2D) an evangelism program for Lutheran Churches. He is active in Hispanic ministry, serves as a vicarage supervisor, and is currently helping with a church plant in Concordia, KS. Pastor Koch previously served Emanuel Lutheran Church in Milbank, SD (2018–2022) and a dual point parish: Concordia & Immanuel Lutheran Churches in Cresbard and Wecota, SD (2011–2018). Originally from St. Francis, MN and the son of two Lutheran school teachers, Pastor Koch is married to Emily, and together the Lord has blessed them with five children: Ezra, Evelyn, Levi, Annie, and Jael.

We have included some free time as well. Once again we will be planning for a SATURDAY EVENING OUT so that you can spend some special time on your own – or with friends. You are sure to enjoy Wichita’s dining and entertainment options.
