Co-Pastor at St. Mark Lutheran Church (Lindenhurst, IL)

We believe that God created humans to engage in fellowship with Him, but we defied God by sinfully going our own way. As a result, we need God’s saving grace to end our alienation from Him. Salvation comes only through God's grace; not human effort and must be personally received by repentance and faith. We are a Christ-centered service-driven, love-sharing, Bible believing church in the Lutheran tradition.

Our ideal candidate is a person with a charismatic personality, a confident belief in Christianity, strong Christian leadership skills, and an unwavering devotion to Bible-based teaching.

This person must be a clear communicator, a motivational influencer with a passion for youth ministry, and a visionary who is willing to reach out to our community to grow our congregation.
