Our Pastor is Dr. John K. Burk. Pastor John, as we affectionately call him, is easy going, easy to talk to, and has a conversational preaching style. He rarely uses the pulpit; instead he comes into the nave and explains the ancient texts from the bible and makes them come alive with 21st century examples.

His classic Lutheran sermons are always a combination of ‘law and gospel.’ The ‘law’ reveals our sinful state and hopeless human condition before God’s righteous expectations of us. The ‘gospel’ is God’s freeing word of unequivocal love and unconditional affirmation of us in the cross of Christ. We always feel like we’ve learned something and feel closer to God after his sermons.
