Meet Our Staff

Rev. Tom King was installed August 15th, 2021.  He is serving our congregation in Word and Sacrament ministry.  As an under-shepherd (because Christ Jesus is our True Shepherd), he seeks to forgive sins, encourage all in a walk of faith and living as witnesses of God's saving grace in Jesus Christ, His Son, our Savior.  Please join us in that walk together, as we grow in grace and service to one another.
