LERT (Lutheran Early Response Team) Basic Training Event, for new volunteer certification, or as a refresher for previously trained. Taking the training does not commit you to any specific deployment (on-site work), although we encourage active participation when possible! Each deployment is completely voluntary.
Basic training prepares volunteers to be received at LERT disaster sites, to respond when life hurdles happen, and to assist survivors in need. Completing Basic LERT training will also help your area team grow to serve the community for local missions of mercy. This event serves to fill a gap of needed LERT team(s), specifically in Iowa District West and the surrounding LCMS districts.
Basic training is materials and discussion-based.
A $20 registration fee per person includes dinner, LERT training materials, an ID badge, a certificate, and a T-shirt. Your LERT Trainer will distribute all class materials during sign-in. (Badges, certificates, and shirts will be sent after completion of training)
Sign-in and light dinner at 5:00, training 5:30 - 9:00 pm.
Please have your registration check made out to "IDW" and note "LERT Training 3/26/26" in the memo. Exact cash will be accepted, but checks are preferred.
