School Board Survey & Teacher Call Committee

Our mission statement of Connect to Christ, Grow in His Grace, Share Him with Others, guides everything we do—from how we teach and lead, to how we support our students and families. As we continue to strengthen our school’s culture, we value your input in identifying the key principles that define who we are and what we stand for. 


Please take a few minutes to complete THIS SURVEY and share your thoughts. Your feedback will help us ensure that our core values reflect the heart of our church and school community, for His glory. Thank you for being a part of this important process!


Additionally, with the departure of Mrs. Launer into retirement that creates the need for a new staff member for the 2025/26 school year. Our Board of Directors has put together the Call Committee and this committee has already begun to meet. We are excited to announce that Mrs. Zimmerman, our current 6th grade teacher is sliding down to 4th grade and we are looking to add a middle school teacher to our team. We have begun looking through Commissioned Minister Information Form's (CMIF's) from across the country for a candidate who could fit in our ministry. CMIF's are a nationwide database of resumes and information for all Called teachers in our Synod.


If you know someone who would be a great fit for our school please use this Google Form to nominate them. There are also physical nomination forms available in the Ministry Center as well. These names will be provided to the Call Committee as they work through search for who the Lord has to serve with us.


Keep the Call Committee in your prayers as they carry out this all important task of finding a teacher to serve in our Wildcat Family!

Workers for the Harvest

By Pastor Adam McDowell • July 7, 2025
I want to share a story, actually several stories. I remember when I was young in Tulsa, Oklahoma and in Fredericktown, Missouri, of going up to the altar rail with my parents and receiving a blessing from my pastor. I remember sticking my head in between the posts on the altar rail and the pastor giving me a blessing. I don't exactly remember the words, but I knew it was important and I wanted that blessing. I remember in confirmation learning about what the pastor was actually saying, what those words actually meant. To understand what God was saying in his scriptures and growing in it. Overall, just being absolutely amazed at what my pastors, Pastor Sean and Pastor Beering were teaching me and knowing God better and just the joyfulness of it. And I remember Lyndi going through confirmation, adult confirmation, with Pastor Schueler in Rosenberg, Texas, and then seeing from her eyes what it meant to be Lutheran, to understand the faith. I had grown up in the Lutheran church, so it was all ordinary for me, but for her it was extraordinary to know and to understand and have that time with a pastor. And I'm so thankful for the pastors in my life and all of the other church workers that have been a part of my life who have helped me to understand who God is. I mentioned in this weekend’s sermon that there's an initiative, a program through the LCMS called Set Apart to Serve. It points out that we have a lack of pastors, teachers, and other church workers. Set Apart to Serve reminds us that the Lord asks us to pray for laborers for the harvest, and I encourage you to pray for laborers for the harvest. To pray for those that teach us who God is and to help us to understand how much we need him. If you happen to know some young people considering church work or being pastors, pray for them, encourage them. God has gifted them to us to answer our questions. Pray fervently that the Lord would send workers into his harvest so that we know him. Keep that in your prayers. I encourage you to look for people who would be good to take God's calling into his church. May the Lord provide workers for His harvest that we may know God and how richly He blesses us. Amen.
