Following a successful succession plan and search, NL Moore & Associates is pleased to announce the call of Pastor Jeremey King as the Senior Pastor of Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in Afton, Minn.

Pastor Jeremey, his wife Michelle and their two children come to Shepherd of the Valley from Radiant Church in Huntington Beach, California, a LCMC congregation where Pastor Jeremey served for nine years.

Pastor Jeremey is “passionate about helping others hear the still small voice of the One who ascribes them unsurpassable worth.” He shares Shepherd’s commitment to teaching the Bible in an authentic and practical way, and is drawn to a congregation focused on the small group as the core of daily Christian faith-life. He holds a Master of Divinity degree from Fuller Theological Seminary, CA, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Organizational Leadership from BIOLA University, CA. He has taken courses in Lutheran Confessions, Worship and Mission from Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN.

Though he grew up in Southern California, both he and Michelle have family in Minnesota. Jeremey’s mother has roots here, and Michelle grew up in Cambridge and Forest Lake areas. Jeremey and Michelle, a licensed family therapist, often team teach and lead marriage retreats together.

Please join us in celebrating God’s gracious provision in calling Pastor Jeremey King and his family to Shepherd of the Valley! We look forward to all that God will do in and through their ministry together in the years to come.
