 Pastoral Transition Process

A completed covenant for interim pastoral ministry has been signed with Sonja Hagander. Pastor Sonja will begin her ministry with us on December 6. We welcome her expertise as we as a congregation continue in the pastoral transition process. We will be moving into Phase Two soon.

Pastor Kisten Thompson will continue her service as our Bridge Pastor until we find a second interim pastor, picking up more hours doing pastoral care. She will continue to
handle emergency pastoral calls, make visits to those in hospitals or shut in at home, work with the Lay Shepherds, conduct worship services at area long term care facilities and provide some leadership during worship.

The Church Council will work with Deacon Krista Lind from the St. Paul Area Synod of the ELCA to find a second interim pastor. The Council is looking closely at our budget for 2022 to determine our financial resources for a second interim pastor. The congregation has been so generous in 2021, supporting the ministry we are called to do in New Brighton. The Council hopes that will continue into 2022 as God is calling us into new paths and ventures of which we cannot yet see the end. 

​Many thanks to the people who are involved in the Phase One tasks: 
  • The Planning Team for Pastor Peter's Celebration: Ana Becerra, Priscilla and Ralph Berg, Paulette and Ron Olsen, and Peachu Yates-Jallah
  • ​​The Interim Pastor Interview Team: Bob Benke, Mark Chace,  Dale Erickson, Jen Miller, Diane Shallue and Paul Wilde L'Heureux

There is a place for you.

Grounded in the promise of God’s grace, we are called to extend Christ’s welcome to all people. We welcome all, regardless of race, age, culture, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, family status, marital status, physical or cognitive ability, theological knowledge, education, political perspective, economic condition, or religious background. Our journeys in life often look very different on the surface, but we believe that God's love changes everything for everybody. No matter where you find yourself on the journey of faith, we warmly welcome you here.
