Our Pastor, Andrew Ewald...

  I was born in Lexington, South Carolina, but have spent much of my life in Michigan. I grew up in Burton, Michigan and attended high school at Michigan Lutheran Seminary in Saginaw. After graduation I attended Martin Luther College in Minnesota, where I began studying for the pastoral ministry. My Bachelor of Arts degree includes studies in Bible doctrine, as well as learning Hebrew (which is the original language of the Old Testament) and Greek (the original language of the New Testament). After graduation in 2009, I attended Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary's 4-year master's program in Wisconsin. There I studied more Bible teachings, more Hebrew and Greek, as well as teaching, counseling, and worship styles. I spent one year as an intern at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Rice Lake, Wisconsin. After graduating from the seminary I was assigned to St. John Lutheran Church and Faith Lutheran Church.

  Quite honestly, I love sharing Jesus with everyone I can. Whether it is watching eyes open up in a worship setting as life makes little more sense or refocusing attentions to the awesome truths found in the Bible, nothing brings me greater joy than sharing God's unconditional, free and full love.

   I have been married to my wife, Cassandra, since 2009. God has blessed us with two children, Clara and Greg. When I am not in the office, I enjoy watching (Detroit Lions) football, gardening, woodworking, and spending time with my family.
