WELS/ILS Call Updates

Premise

The national church body (WELS) that Trinity and ILS are affiliated with helps churches and schools find qualified pastors and teachers through a call process. When you read that someone has a call, they essentially have received an offer from another ministry to come and serve at their church or school. The person usually takes several weeks to prayerfully consider this opportunity and then decide whether to stay or go.

Active Calls

Mr. Seeger, our elementary school Principal, received a call to serve as Principal at Trinity Lutheran School in Caledonia, Wisconsin. Thank you for keeping the Seegers in your prayers. You are welcome to share any thoughts or questions with them.
Mrs. Deenik, our 2nd grade teacher, received a call to serve as 1st-2nd grade teacher at New Hope Lutheran Academy in West Melbourne, Florida. Thank you for keeping the Deeniks in your prayers. You are welcome to share any thoughts or questions with them.

Call Decisions

At our November 6 call meeting, the voters chose to call Pastor Joseph Koelpin to be our associate pastor. He has decided to return (decline) the call. While he was intrigued by our ministry here, the timing of this call was not ideal.
