Pastor Steve Lien, our Coordinator for Pastoral Ministry, works with seminarians and pastors navigating our certification process and works alongside office staff in maintaining our lists of active, available for call, emeritus and inactive pastors. He joins others from the Ministry Board in assisting congregations in the call process, those dealing with other transitions or conflict, and helps equip, encourage and train our pastors.

At the Annual Gathering, Steve introduces district leaders, certifiers, new congregations, pastors, seminarians and military chaplains. He also recognizes ordination anniversaries.
