INTRODUCING

We are so excited to introduce our new Interim Pastor, Tom Ogilvie!

A Message from Tom,

Hi, and welcome to Lutheran Campus Ministry! I am Pastor Tom Ogilvie, the interim pastor of LCM. I look forward to getting to know you in the near future. I am serving LCM on a part-time basis, also working a full-time “day job.” I will have office hours on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 6:00-8:30p.m., and on Saturday mornings from 9:00a.m.-noon. I know that does not fit everyone’s schedule, so if you need to talk, message me at iowalcmexec@gmail.com attn: Pastor Tom, and I will get in touch with you and we can make arrangements to meet. Also, if you would be interested in receiving a weekly devotional message, send an email to tgo.thoughts@gmail.com and let me know, or subscribe to the YouTube channel TGOgilvie.
