Call Decision LetterMay 202 min readPrincipal Stephen Miller, who is retiring from full time ministry next month, has come to a decision on the call we've extended to him to serve on a part time basis for this next school year. He writes: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++May 20, 2026Fellow Believers in Christ: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom..." (Colossians 3:16). It is with a deeply humble heart, relying entirely on the grace of our Lord, that I formally accept the call to serve as the Part-Time Principal at St. Paul Lutheran School for the 2026-2027 school year. A call to Christian leadership is, above all, a call to shepherd hearts. I am profoundly grateful to the Board and the congregation for inviting me to continue walking alongside our families and staff in this sacred capacity. My prayer is that our school remains a place where the Word of Christ dwells richly—shaping not only the minds of our students but anchoring their souls in the certainty of their salvation. As we look toward the upcoming school year, I eagerly anticipate collaborating with our dedicated faculty and the Board. Together, we will continue to nurture an environment of spiritual growth and academic diligence, always keeping our ultimate, heavenly home as our true north. May the Holy Spirit grant us wisdom, patience, and a shared joy as we serve Him and feed His lambs. In Christ’s Service and Peace, Stephen Miller+++++++++++++++++++++++++++We are grateful for Mr. Miller's continued service among us on a part-time basis. We are also grateful for co-workers who will assist to accomplish the responsibilities connected to this full time role. May the Lord bless and keep all who serve!
