A word from the pastor

Come as you are. Stay for the Word.

I’m Pastor Paul Kollek. We are a small LCMS congregation on Silver Lake Road — not a production, a people. Sunday is Word and sacrament, hymns you can sing, and a table for those who hunger for Christ. Call the office for an appointment; the door on Sunday needs no appointment at all.

Rev. Paul Kollek
