Bethesda Lutheran Church welcomes ALL and joyfully shares God's love!

Pastor Tammy received the call to serve at Bethesda on January 26, 2020. Her first official day as pastor at Bethesda was Sunday, March 1, 2020. 

Pastor Tammy achieved her MDiv. Degree in Pastoral Studies/Counseling at Wartburg Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa in 1993. She has served several congregations in Iowa and Illinois in the 30+ years since she was ordained. At the annual meeting held at Bethesda on Sunday, January 19, 2025, she announced that after having conversations with family members and close friends and guidance from the Synod, she decided she would be retiring this year, with her last day at Bethesda being August 31, 2025.

A reception will be held in her honor that day, but details have not yet been finalized. Updates will be shared once plans are in place.

We are grateful for Pr. Tammy and her service over these last 5+ years and offer our heartfelt best wishes in her retirement!
