I bring you grace and peace in the Name of Jesus the Christ. These are indeed exciting times at Holy Cross...as we discern what our future is according to God's will. I am truly blessed to serve as the pastor of such a vibrant congregation. I have served three congregations in Niagara Falls, New York before coming to Aberdeen, South Dakota. My, wife, Mary Anne and our two children, Hannah and Jonathan love this area and pray that our journey together, here with you, will be fruitful. I am a part of a clergy couple. Pastor Mary Anne serves at Bethlehem Lutheran here in Aberdeen. My background includes undergraduate degrees in American History and Ethnic Studies, masters, and doctoral degrees in American History. Of course I also hold a Master in Divinity. Prior to becoming a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran in America, I taught American and World History at Niagara University for fourteen years. One of my passions has always been teaching. I have enjoyed watching young minds come alive with new knowledge. I have a deep love for the fire service and have been involved in Chaplaincy and Critical Incident Stress counseling for over ten years. I has the honor of working at the World Trade site immediately after the events of September 11th, 2001 and was decorated for my service while there. I am again honored to be a part of the Aberdeen Fire Department; serving as one of their chaplains. My work as a pastor has led me in several directions. I have served in very different congregations over the last nine years. These include urban, suburban, and rural settings. These varied settings have allowed me to become better equipped to serve the good folks at Holy Cross. Please stop in and see us here at Holy Cross. I would love to talk with you personally. And to the folks of Holy Cross...thank you for extending to me the opportunity to walk with you as your brother in Christ!
Peace and Blessings To You Pastor Bill The Reverend William Lee Nelson-Loefke Holy Cross Lutheran Church
