St. Mark's Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod of St. Charles recently announced that the Rev. James "Jamie" Holt has accepted a call to be the church's senior pastor.
Holt, of Phoenix, Arizona, was recommended by the church's Call Committee and approved by the congregation last month. He replaces Pastor Tim Bayer who accepted a call to Our Savior Lutheran Church, Tacoma, Wash., in August 2019. Holt will be installed at St. Mark's in late May or early June.
Church president John Toniolo said, "We are so happy that Pastor Jaime has accepted our call. This has been a very long process, but God has found the right shepherd for our church. Jaime has the leadership skills and vision to continue the pathway established by Pastor Bayer."
