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!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I hope this note finds you well and encouraged in the Lord. St. Peter’s continues to be a place where God is at work through our preschool, school, various ministries, and the daily faithfulness of His people. I am grateful to serve the Lord with you in this place! As we continue to serve together, I want to update you on changes in our church office and ministry staff. As many of you know, Michelle Leahy has been serving as our “Interim Director of Operations,” providing support and coordination across many areas of congregational life. In the coming weeks, Michelle will be stepping into a new role, “Executive Director.” This means her work will shift from hands-on ministry support to more administrative leadership and oversight of the church office, properties, finances, and technology. This is an important step for us as a congregation as we continue to support our staff and serve our members. With this change, we want to ensure that daily ministry needs are met. After reviewing our current staffing and budget, we can make an adjustment that supports the ongoing ministry without increasing costs. To that end, Kami Jo Mogelvang will expand her role to serve as “Church Ministry Coordinator.” Many of you have already seen Kami Jo assisting Pastor McDowell in youth ministry two days each week. Under the new alignment, she will: Continue serving in youth ministry, and Help coordinate ministry efforts and volunteer connections with Pastor Nate and Pastor McDowell across the congregation. This will help us strengthen volunteer support and the many “connecting points” that help our church family care for one another. As Kami Jo transitions out of her receptionist duties, this change will open about 18 hours per week at the front desk, which we have posted. This staffing arrangement stays within our approved 2025 budget. I am thankful for Michelle, Kami Jo, our staff, and all our volunteers. I also appreciate the spirit of grace and partnership that marks our congregation. Please keep our staff and ministry leaders in your prayers as we move through these transitions. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for the privilege of serving Christ with you! In Christ, Pastor Danny Eggold St. Peter’s Lutheran Church & School
