GRACE is...

 

From Interim Senior Pastor Scott Olson:

​

Welcome to the Grace Lutheran Church, Waseca, MN website! I hope you find whatever information you need about our congregation as we participate in God’s mission to love and bless the world.

 

We are pleased that we continue to “reopen” our church, though we haven’t been closed and ministry has been ongoing throughout the pandemic. Please check other portions of this website or subscribe to our E-News to keep updated.

 

After a thorough self-study process, the church council has formed a Call Committee to seek Grace’s next senior pastor. A Town Hall meeting is scheduled for April 11 at 10:30 am to celebrate the work of the Discovery Team leading to the documents used in the call process. The Call Committee will be formally introduced as well. The members of the Call Committee are:

• Kristie Biehn

• Marty Buum

• Jana Kestel

• Sophie Potter, Discovery Team Representative

• Brett Prescher, Council Representative

• Scott Singlestad

• Brian Weller

• Jewel Cariveau, Alternate

 

While the call process unfolds, the church council will be putting flesh on the bones of the strategic initiatives, mission statement, vision statement, and core values proposed by the Discovery Team. Ministry Teams are in full gear aligning their work with God’s call on Grace.

 

These are hopeful times for Grace, bolstered by the promises of new life proclaimed in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and sustained through the power of the Holy Spirit. All are welcome to participate with us in the holy work.

​

​​​In Christ's Love,     

 

Interim Senior Pastor Scott E. Olson
