Senior Pastor Candidate Nomination Form

Call Committee • February 10, 2025

An email went out on Saturday afternoon with an electronic candidate nomination form.

The Senior Pastor Call Committee would like to thank all of those who took the time to complete the survey on the desired traits of a senior pastor. As many of you noted (and was confirmed in the close results of the survey), all the traits in that survey were desirable in a faithful pastor. Your responses helped the committee identify those traits most important to you and will greatly assist the process of reviewing qualified candidates. Below are the top 10 traits identified by the survey:


  • Holds faithfully to God’s Word and our LCMS Lutheran doctrine
  • Is a good leader who brings people together
  • Is personable and works well with people
  • Is able to deal with conflict wisely, pastorally, and thoroughly
  • Genuinely likes people and wants to get to know them
  • Is mature both personally and spiritually
  • Is a servant leader
  • Manages staff fairly and consistently
  • Is a good listener
  • Is a good preacher


We now seek your assistance once more in the search for the man that God has selected to serve as St. Peter’s next Senior Pastor. The Call Committee will now accept nominations for qualified LCMS pastors who exemplify the above character traits. Nominations may be submitted online using this link that was emailed to you or by completing the paper form in the Ministry Center and inserting it in the wooden church. Nominations will be collected until February 24, 2025, then all submitted names will be forwarded to the Indiana District office for review.


If you need any help with a nomination or have questions, you can contact the team at callteam@stpetersfw.org.
