What’s Next for Faith?

April 9, 2013 By Faith

Although it is very hard to see Pastor Randy and Stephanie Freund leave Faith Lutheran Church, God’s call for them to pursue a new ministry venture in Perham, Minnesota, is unmistakable. We give thanks for their years of faithful ministry here and pray God’s richest blessings on their continued ministry.

In the next weeks, the leaders of Faith Lutheran will begin an extensive process to discern how the church might best move forward in this new era in its life. This will include:

  • an exit interview with Pastor Randy to glean the wisdom and perspective of his long pastorate here
  • a church council and ministry teams retreat that will focus on a variety of staffing and ministry opportunities now presented to Faith
  • farewell events for Pastor Randy and Stephanie so the congregation can wish them well.

As this process moves forward, please pray constantly for God’s guidance and share your vision for Faith’s future. Watch for additional information throughout this transition period and let us know of any questions or concerns you might have.

A message from Pastor Randy Freund

April 9, 2013 By Faith

On Sunday, April 7th, I announced to the congregation that I have accepted a Letter of Call from New Creation Lutheran Church in Perham, MN.  After much prayer, discernment and conversations with many at Faith, I sensed that it is time for me to begin this new ministry venture.  With a thankful and grateful heart, I will conclude 16 years of ministry at Faith on May 19, 2013.

Appropriately, May 19 is Pentecost Sunday, “the birthday of the Church,” which promises the presence and power of the Holy Spirit to drive forward the ministry of Faith and New Creation alike.  Thank you for the many kind words, prayers and encouragement you have given in these days.

-Pastor Randy Freund

Listen to Pastor Randy’s sermon from April 7 “The Risen Jesus and Two Places,” in which he address the decision he has made to lead the new congregation in Perham.

New to Faith?

Building FAITH is the mission statement for Faith Lutheran Church, and it’s much more than just a slogan. You can see by all the ministries described on this website that God is Building FAITH in this church. It describes the amazing work God has done through our church through the years. It conveys our trust that God will amaze us even more in the future. It also calls all of us in this family of Faith to invest ourselves in the mission of bringing the good news of Jesus Christ to a world broken by sin. Continue Reading
