Call Process at English Lutheran Church
English Lutheran Church is currently in self-study in the process of calling our next pastor. The Vision Board will use this page to post updates to our congregation about the process after agreeing to begin the call process at their May 2026 meeting.
Upon completion of the congregation-wide workshops and an onsite retreat for the Vision Board with our church consultant Cathy Cowling, we believe the congregation and the Vision Board has had ample opportunity to reflect back on the ministry and work and legacy of English Lutheran and also look toward the future, as we continue to build on our foundation of faith, service, and a shared mission.
At our annual meeting, a balanced budget that supports one full-time pastor was presented. The congregation approved the balanced budget. After much prayerful deliberation, the Vision Board believes the most reasonable path forward at this time is to seek one full-time pastor. Therefore, we will move forward with the process to call one full-time pastor.
If you are interested in serving on the Call Committee, please complete the form below by June 30, 2026 (paper forms are at the Welcome Center and can be turned in to Jennifer at the church office).
Any questions on the call process can be directed to: Paul Moe, Vision Board President or Cara Hartfield, Vision Board Vice President.
