Our staff

Welcome to Christ Lutheran

Welcome! I appreciate your taking time to learn more about our church and school family, and believe you’ll find that we’re passionate about God’s Word, worship, fellowship, and serving others.

I consider it a great honor to serve as senior pastor alongside a gifted and passionate ministry team. God is doing incredible things through our many ministries – on campus, in our community, and around the world. 

Get to know us, join us for worship, and become part of our family! Get involved where God can bless you, and where He can work through you to bless others.

Our School Principal

At Christ Lutheran School, we do things differently. We believe in being an extended family to all who come to our school and provide a Christ-centered environment where spiritual growth & character development are just as important as academic achievement.

Our dedicated teachers and staff provide a safe and nurturing environment, rigorous academics, and Christ-centered curriculum. Our goal is to develop purpose-driven leaders with Christian values and character.

When you choose Christ Lutheran School, you give your child the gift of a bright future and secure foundation to support them wherever they go and whatever they do.

We invite you to contact us or click here to learn more about our school.
