Our History
Former Pastors
​Pastor Megan Hoewisch​

Pastor Megan Hoewisch was ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and installed as First Lutheran’s pastor in February 2020. Before that, she served as a vicar for a year at a Lutheran church in Durham, NC. She earned her Master of Divinity from Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia in 2018, where she met her husband. Though a native of San Jose, California, Pastor Megan loves exploring God’s good earth and making a home wherever God has called her.​​

We have an amazing group of lay leaders here at First  Lutheran who keep everything going.
Meet a few of them below!
Monica Gallegos-Laeupple - Secretary

Monica has been with us since 2013. She is very active in many of the sewing groups around First, as well as in her home congregation, St. Jude Thaddeus Catholic Parish. Monica is likely the first person you'll meet when you drop by or call, and will get you in touch with anyone you need.
