Rev. Louise Johnson

We were pleased that our visiting Churchwide representative was Rev. Louise Johnson, whose role with the ELCA is Executive for Administration.

Johnson most recently served as the Director of Leadership Development for LEAD, a leadership development non-profit of the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod of the ELCA. Prior to her work with LEAD, she served as the fourteenth president of Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa where she led the seminary to its largest fundraising and enrollment years in the history of the school. Johnson has also held several senior level roles at Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia and has served congregations in a variety of roles in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Pennsylvania.

Rev. Roberto Trejo Haager

After numerous Covid-thwarted attempts to arrange a visit, we are blessed that our 2022 Synod Assembly featured a visit from Rev. Roberto Trejo Haager, Pastor President of the Mexican Lutheran Church (Iglesia Luterana Mexicana, ILM).

We are grateful for worshipoubf with Pastor Trejo Haager and hearing updates on our companions in Mexico.


2022 Synod Assembly

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
