Our Pastor

Sr. Pastor Dale Bohm

Pastor Bohm has served St. John, Lincoln since November 15, 1998. Pastor enjoys conducting the worship services, teaching Bible Class, praying for the members and instructing the confirmation classes. Care and concern for the individual's personal relationship with their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is of primary importance. To this end, the use of the Means of Grace must be a priority. The sinner redeemed through the blood of Christ must hear the Word of God preached in it's truth and purity and receive the Sacraments that are administered according to the Gospel.

Prior to his call to Lincoln, he served a dual parish at Immanuel and Bethlehem Lutheran Churches of Bremen, Kansas where he was ordained and installed on July 16, 1989. He graduated with a Masters of Divinity degree from Concordia Seminary. St, Louis, MO in May of 1989. He served his vicarage year at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Perham, MN. His undergraduate degree in Management and Administration was from Concordia University, Austin, TX. It was at Concordia where Pastor met Lisa Michalk. (Mrs. Bohm's maternal family history book records that her great great grandparents Andrew and Clara nee' Richter Niemtschk, an original signer of the church's constitution, came to the Lincoln community in 1886. The family moved a few years later to Fedor, TX. In 1902 they continued on to Thorndale TX. Her fraternal great great grandfather Charles Michalk came to Giddings in 1857 and married Maria Birnbaum. Lisa's parents Rodney and Patsy Michalk live in Cedar Park, TX)

Dale and Lisa were married at Lisa's home congregation of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Cedar Park, TX on July 27, 1985. This union has been blessed with a son and a daughter.
