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.


Next Call Meeting

Our next voter’s meeting will be Monday, May 11, 6:30 PM, located in the Fellowship Hall. The purpose of this meeting is to issue a call for a new pastor. All are welcome to attend!
