Leader Bio:
As we begin our partnership in the gospel as interim pastor and congregation, I would like to share a little about my life and ministry. I was born September 25, 1956, in Little Rock, Arkansas. The second oldest of six children, I grew up in Bloomington, IL and Sandusky, OH. I received the associate in arts degree from Golden Valley Lutheran College, MN in 1978 and in 1981 received my B.A. from the University of Minnesota. I attended Princeton Theological Seminary (NJ) for one year and received my Master of Divinity degree from Luther Northwestern Theological Seminary (St. Paul, MN) in 1985. I was ordained in the American Lutheran Church on June 2, 1985. As pastor I have served congregations in Peoria, IL, Brook Park, OH, and Barberton, OH. In addition, I have served several congregations as interim pastor and currently I am a part-time chaplain at St. Luke Lutheran Community in North Canton. I am married to the Rev. Barbara Bartholomew, who is a Presbyterian Church U.S.A. pastor. Barbara and I reside in Wadsworth, where we share our home with a retired racing greyhound.
I look forward to our time together as interim pastor and congregation and pray for our mutual growth in Christ as we serve and live in Him.

St Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church History
Forgive us
O God, forgive the poverty and the pettiness of our prayers . Listen not to our words but to the yearnings of our hearts. Hear beneath our petitions the crying of our need.
