Meet our Pastors

Pastor Joel and Pastor Sarah enjoy working together as a clergy couple! Pastor Joel’s particular areas of focus include visitation and ministry with older adults. Pastor Sarah particularly enjoys working with the children and leadership of each congregation. They have four incredible children who also bring their own unique gifts and talents to their family and their life of ministry together.

CROSS ROADS AT A GLANCE.....

Our Mission:
To proclaim God's Word and serve God's people as we continue
to seek partnerships with other congregations.

Cross Roads Lutheran Parish consists of four North Central Iowa Lutheran congregations. Faith, Mitchell; Rock Creek, Osage; St. John's of Rock Township, Osage and St. Luke, Nora Springs came together to fulfill their mission to spread God's word locally and beyond.

The congregations are members of the NE Iowa Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. The Parish was founded April 16, 2012. On June 7, 2013 Pastor David Werges and Deacon Elayne Werges began their service to the parish as the first called ministerial staff serving 1,100 parishioners.
