Call Committee Update

Posted on Sep 11, 2025 in Recent Events |

Sep '25

The Call Committee is pleased to announce that we have selected the leading candidate for our next Pastor. He is currently arranging coverage to allow him to visit Redeemer. During this visit, he will meet with our Leadership Team and participate in worship services, offering members of the congregation an opportunity to meet him.
Our selection process was informed by a Pastor profile developed by the committee, incorporating our current insights, alongside materials reviewed from the previous call committee. Additionally, we reflected on feedback from our congregational survey and ‘listening’ sessions.
The candidate is Rev. Eli Johannes Thomas, who serves at 2 churches in Washington, Grace Lutheran (Traditional) in Longview and Christ Community (Contemporary) in Ridgefield and has said he loves both traditional and contemporary worship. As a colloquy into the LCMS, he brings a broad perspective on ministry beyond the Lutheran tradition. Ordained on Sept. 29, 2013, he has been described by his current District President as contemporary, with a highly evangelical approach to ministry and mission.
