Calling New Leadership

With the well-deserved retirement of our long-tenured Senior Pastor and Deacon, Our Savior's Lutheran Church (OSLC) is working to call a new leadership team. Through the ongoing support and input of our Congregation the Call Committee is prayerful and diligently working through the formal call process.

We are aiming to call three positions, a Lead Senior Pastor of Word & Sacrament, an Associate Pastor or Deacon of Word & Service, and a new third position for an Associate Pastor or Deacon of Word & Service focused on family, children, youth, & college ministries. 

Have a Minister Recomendation? 

If you have a minister to recomend for one of our three open positions please compelte a Nomination of the Congregation form and turn it in to Committee Chair Andy Binder.
