Principal Call Return
Principal Chris Brune Returns a Call
March 18, 2025
Members of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church and School and Community,
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Over the past several weeks, I have been prayerfully discerning God’s will after receiving the call to serve as the Superintendent of Schools and District Education Executive for the Lutheran schools of Ohio. This has been an exceptionally difficult decision, as I see great need and opportunity for ministry in both roles. The prospect of serving Lutheran education on a broader scale was both humbling and compelling, yet so too is the deep sense of purpose and joy I feel in my current role.
After much prayer, reflection, and conversations with trusted colleagues, family, and members of our school and church community, I have reached the decision to return this call to the Ohio District and remain in my role as principal at St. Peter’s. This has not been an easy conclusion to reach, yet through this process, God has aligned my steps and made things clear. I feel a renewed conviction to continue leading our school, strengthening our one St. Peters ministry, and walking alongside each of you in the all important work we do together.
As we move forward, I do so with gratitude for this incredible community and confidence that God will continue to guide our path. There is much to be done, and I am eager to continue this journey alongside you, trusting in God’s provision and grace. As Galatians 6:9 encourages us, “Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” May we remain steadfast in our calling and service, knowing that God is faithful and that the work we do together has a lasting, kingdom impact.
Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and your unwavering dedication to Lutheran education. It is truly a privilege to serve as your principal, and I look forward to all that God has in store for our one St. Peter's ministry.
May God bless and sustain us as we remain faithful in His service.
Together in Christ,
Chris Brune

St. Peter's Congregation,
I ask for your diligent prayers as I have received a call to serve another corner of God’s kingdom. Please read my letter attached below. As I contemplate this Call, I seek the Lord's will and know that it is only through His good and gracious will that we will find what His plan is. As my letter states, I welcome and encourage any conversations over the next few weeks. It is my opinion, only through these conversations and many other means, I will find His will.
My door is always open!
Together in Christ,
Chris Brune
