Maricopa Lutheran Church voted unanimously to call the Rev. Dr. Andrew Schlecht to be their new pastor, starting on November 29, 2020. At the October 3 congregational meeting, Call Committee spoke of his passionate faith, prayer life, and focus on the Word. They see him as a great story teller, innovative, and engaging, who thrives on new challenges and who is a peacemaker and a diplomat.
Pastor Andrew Schlecht graduated from the University of Arizona in 1985. He then became co-owner and president of a successful architectural firm in Tucson. He answered a call to pastoral ministry in 2004, went to Fuller Institute and Luther Seminary, and earned a Master of Divinity degree. In 2008, he was ordained and began serving as Pastor at Kindred Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kindred, North Dakota. In 2020 he earned a Doctor of Ministry degree in Congregational Mission and Leadership from Luther Seminary. He wrote an inspirational book that’s available on Amazon, Where Am I?: God in the Details of Life. His extended family currently reside in Arizona. He and his wife are excited about serving in our growing community. Maricopa Lutheran Church began worshiping in 2008 and formally was organized in 2013 as a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Currently worshipping via Zoom, this congregation had been meeting at Desert Winds Middle School and plans to again when conditions permit. Pastor Schlecht follows Pastor Glenn Zimbelman, who served for seven years, and Deacon Janice Zimbelman, who served for one. They retired in August of this year. |
