A Message From Our New Pastors

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Thank you for your faithful and diligent service in calling both of us into ministry at St. John Lutheran!  We were more than thrilled and overjoyed to have received your “letter of call” to serve as your Pastors!  As we approach this new journey in our lives, it is with great enthusiasm that we join the community of St. John and become part of your journey of discipleship and ministry in God’s kingdom!  

It is our hope to build loving relationships in Christ with each one of you as we grow together in faith. We hope to provide and encourage leadership that further cultivates community, growth, gifts in ministry, and a deep listening to the call of the Holy Spirit into future mission and ministry! We cannot wait to meet you! Until then, may the grace and peace of our Lord and Savior bless each of you.

In Christ,
