Pastor Leonard Bolick to be Emmanuel’s Interim Pastor
 
We wholeheartedly welcome Pastor Leonard Bolick, Bishop Emeritus, as the Interim Pastor at Emmanuel.  Pastor Bolick will begin on December 5, 2022 with his first Sunday on December 11.  He will be working half time (which is standard for interims) and leading us in worship all but one Sunday a month when we will have a supply pastor.
 
Pastor Bolick served as the Bishop of the NC ELCA Synod from 1997 until 2015 (18 years).  Prior to serving as Bishop he served as the pastor at Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church in Fayetteville, NC.  He later joined the Synod staff where he served in youth ministry and evangelism before being elected Bishop.  He has a bachelor degree from Appalachian State University and a master of Divinity from the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary.  He holds a doctorate in Ministry from McCormick Theological Seminary and a doctorate of Divinity from Lenoir-Rhyne University.  He is married to Rita Bolick and is the father of two children and four grandchildren.  He and Rita live near Blowing Rock, NC.
 
You will find Pastor Bolick to be a warm and insightful Pastor.  He will provide pastoral care, ministry and guidance.  He will tend to the pastoral duties of Emmanuel but will not be involved in the Call Process nor be a candidate.  Rev. Phil Tonnesen of the Synod will lead us through the Call Process and has already met twice with the Council and Staff.
 
We are all looking forward to having Pastor Bolick lead us during this time of transition.  We are truly fortunate to have him at Emmanuel.
