Segment 1
Pastor Sam Watters invites us to a Walk for Life event.
I am a second-career pastor. Upon retirement, after many years in leadership at a Tier One automotive supplier, I entered Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, attending both in-person and via distance learning. Currently, I’m serving as the Associate Pastor at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Westland, Michigan, a church and early education to 8th grade school of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) where I am focused primarily in ministry to seniors and shut-ins. I am passionate that the church is called to be vocal in support of life, and a defender of the voiceless against a wayward culture that does not know Christ’s calling. Christ has called us to “speak life” in support of all stages of life.
Originally from Ontario, Canada, I immigrated to the United States in the 1990’s and am proud to be a U.S. citizen since 2005. A proud father of three adult children, my wife, Lynda, of 21 years, and I cherish our 12 grandchildren and five great grandchildren. We are blessed that our family includes adopted and foster grandchildren.
