Grace Lutheran Church operates today through the common understanding that there be appointed members responsible for leading the congregation through a church council of elected officers. These appointed members voluntarily serve and manage all orders of business for the congregation including the calling or dismissing of Pastors, planning of year-round church service and programs, encouraging Gospel-motivated blessings, foster support for mission and charities, administer the congregation’s welfare fund, prepare and submit budget recommendations, and much more.
The elected board members of Grace Lutheran Church are:

Adam is an accountant at EY and in his free time enjoys cheering on his favorite sports teams (Go Notre Dame! Go San Antonio Spurs!), DIY home projects, and exercising.
