It is with great excitement and praise to our Lord in heaven that the church council of Saint Andrew Lutheran Church announces the congregational approval by ballot vote to call The Reverend Jenn Collins as Lead Pastor of Saint Andrew Lutheran Church.

Upon acceptance of the Definition of Compensation, Benefits and Responsibilities of the Pastor document by Reverend Collins, she will assume the role of Lead Pastor effective May 12, 2019.

We look forward with great eagerness to God’s promised future at Saint Andrew with Reverend Jenn Collins leading us.

Please join the council in prayers of thanks to the Call Committee, Bishop Mansholt and Reverend Amy Engebose of the East Central Synod of WI for guiding us in this step of our pastoral transition.
