Call Committee Update
CALL COMMITTEE UPDATE: We are planning for a now set visit of our top candidate, Pastor Eli Thomas. He will be in Carlsbad the weekend of November 8th-9th. The purpose of our Call Committee is to prayerfully search for the Pastor that God has already chosen for Redeemer, and this visit is to help all of us know if we are on the right path. The visit will include attendance at our worship services on November 9th, giving members a chance to meet and interact with him. He will be meeting with Redeemer leadership, and we will also take some time to introduce him to our beautiful community. Pastor Thomas is currently pastoring two Churches in Washington state, Grace Lutheran (Traditional) in Longview and Christ Community (Contemporary) in Ridgefield.
Call Committee Update
The Call Committee is pleased to announce that we have selected the leading candidate for our next Pastor. He is currently arranging coverage to allow him to visit Redeemer. During this visit, he will meet with our Leadership Team and participate in worship services, offering members of the congregation an opportunity to meet him.
Our selection process was informed by a Pastor profile developed by the committee, incorporating our current insights, alongside materials reviewed from the previous call committee. Additionally, we reflected on feedback from our congregational survey and ‘listening’ sessions.
The candidate is Rev. Eli Johannes Thomas, who serves at 2 churches in Washington, Grace Lutheran (Traditional) in Longview and Christ Community (Contemporary) in Ridgefield and has said he loves both traditional and contemporary worship. As a colloquy into the LCMS, he brings a broad perspective on ministry beyond the Lutheran tradition. Ordained on Sept. 29, 2013, he has been described by his current District President as contemporary, with a highly evangelical approach to ministry and mission.
