Jack A. Saarela„ M.Div.

After 35 years of various forms of ministry in the ELCA - parish pastor, campus pastor, regional executive for campus ministry - I headed for the finish line with 5 years on intentional interim ministry, including two as Interim Lutheran Campus Pastor at Yale. On May 31, 2015 I hung up my clerical collar. We have a new pastor at St. John's Lutheran Church in Melrose Park, PA - Linnea Clark, YDS '14.
