The Church Council is pleased to welcome Lisa Goodwin as Interim Pastor for St. John’s congregation.

Pastor Lisa joins us from Anchor, Illinois where her husband, Stephen, serves as Pastor. She recently celebrated her 25th year in the ministry having served congregations in Iowa, Virginia and Illinois.

In addition to her interim duties, she volunteers at her husband’s church – mostly working with youth.

Lisa studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, and after being inspired by her involvement with campus ministry there, pursued ordination at the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago.

We’re excited she can join us while the Call Committee continues the search process for a permanent pastor.
