Staff Update

Dear friends in Christ,
There are several staffing changes that we wanted to make you aware of:

Kathy Jacobson has retired after serving as Administrative Assistant in the Financial Office in Minnesota for the NALC’s eight years. She served Lutheran CORE and the WordAlone Network prior to the start of the NALC. Kathy has been a dedicated and gifted staff member for the NALC. Her proofreading skills have significantly improved all NALC communications. She is a dear sister in Christ, and will be greatly missed. We wish her and her husband, Jim, all the best in retirement.

Andrew Fuller has been named the NALC’s Director of Communications. He began his new position on April 16, 2018. Andrew will be serving the NALC three-quarter time while attending seminary at Trinity School for Ministry in Ambridge, PA, studying to be a priest in the Anglican Church in North America. As Director of Communications, Andrew will work with other NALC leaders to develop and implement communications and marketing strategies to support overall NALC goals and messages. Andrew has recently served as the Director of Communications at Upper Arlington Lutheran Church, an NALC congregation in Columbus, OH. He previously served as Digital Communications Coordinator at Wheaton College and as Director of Communications and Technology at the First Baptist Church of Wheaton, IL.

Joan Corneia has begun serving as the Financial Assistant in the Administrative Office in Minnesota. With a solid background in accounting, Joan will assist Anne Gleason with NALC accounting and membership records. Joan loves living in the Twin Cities and everything it offers. She enjoyes the local sports teams and rarely misses watching the Vikings. A fan of all seasons, she relishes the short summer months after the long winters. She attends Grace Fellowship in Brooklyn Park, MN.

Pastor Brad Hales has been named the Director of Domestic Mission for the NALC. He begins this new quarter-time position May 1, 2018. Pastor Hales will be serving the NALC part time while continuing to serve Reformation Lutheran Church in Culpeper, VA. Working together with the Assistant to the Bishop for Mission, the Director of Domestic Mission will work with NALC mission teams to develop a vision and strategy for domestic mission work. The primary emphasis areas of this position are renewal and new starts, fully integrated with the discipleship initiative focus in the NALC. Pastor Brad Hales has served as the chair of the Renewal Team, New Starts Team, and as Dean of the Virginia Mission District of the North American Lutheran Church. Through the power of Jesus, Pastor Hales has helped to renew several older congregations in discipleship, outreach and mission. In 2009, his present congregation was given the “Best Practices Award in Senior Adult Ministry” by the National Council on Aging. Pastor Hales has also authored multiple Bible studies and resources, including, “A Covenant of Aging,” published by Sola Publishing.

The NALC has a lean structure with the local church at its heart, and our focus is on assisting the ministry of congregations, not on congregations assisting the ministry of the national church. If there's any way that we can help support you, please let us know!

With you following Christ Jesus,
