Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod

Pastor, teacher, and staff minister call report

12/14/2021 – 12/20/2021

The call report details when pastors, teachers, and staff ministers change positions within WELS. The Conference of Presidents oversees and coordinates the calling process.

NOTE: Due to the upcoming holidays, the next call report will be posted January 3, 2022.  

CORRECTION: Last week it was announced that Rev. Nixon Vivar resigned from the ministry. That was incorrect, and we apologize for the error. Pastor Vivar did not resign. Rather, his position at Christ Lutheran Church in Milwaukee, Wis. was eliminated.
