LEADERSHIP
Suzanne How, Pastor
Ordained in 2017, I am a second career Pastor. After serving in the United States Marine Corps for 27 years (including 3 tours in Iraq), I wanted to realize my dream of studying the Bible and theology in graduate school. While I was working on a Master of Arts in the New Testament, I felt the call to ordained ministry and completed a Master of Divinity degree at Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN.
My first call was in rural Gage county at a two-point parish for 4 years. I was transitional associate pastor at First Lutheran in Lincoln for 6 months before being asked to serve as transitional minister for American Lutheran in Oct 2022. I was called to be the Pastor of American Lutheran Church in October of 2024. I love leading worship, preaching on the Scriptures, teaching, and working with others to keep activities fresh and fun. I most enjoy being part of a congregation that loves to be in connection with God and each other, and in service to the community and wider world.
