Circuit Visitors

The Indiana District is organized into 23 different geographical circuits, and each is served by a Circuit Visitor. A Circuit Visitor (CV) is a pastor, either active or retired, who serves as a vital liaison between each congregation of the circuit and the District President. He fulfills many duties, as outlined in the LCMS Handbook (Bylaw 5.2), including leadership in call processes, support, care, encouragement, resource and counsel to each congregation within the circuit.
