OUR STAFF

Pastor Scott Kirchoff

I’m a Lutheran pastor who believes in preaching Christ crucified with conviction, clarity, and compassion. After nearly three decades of ministry, as a parish pastor, church planter, prison chaplain, military chaplain, and now pastor at Holy Lamb Lutheran Church, I’ve come to deeply value both the strength of our Lutheran heritage and the need to make the Gospel come alive for every generation.
