From 2006 to 2008, St. Paul congregation was home to three young pastors we came to love, and who loved us in return (left to right): Pastors Elizabeth Hiller, Lowell Michelson, and Lorin Darst.

With them, the congregation lived out its mission to serve as a learning laboratory for young first-call pastors, and to send them into the wider church with healthy practices and habits.

These three talented pastors are well-equipped for lifelong service in the church.

Please hold Pastors Lorin, Lowell, and Elizabeth in your prayers as they serve in new settings.
