Induction of Peter Demuth at St. John’s German Lutheran Church, Springvale
Since its formation in September 2022, a Recruitment team has been working with determination to find a new Pastor for St. John’s German Lutheran Church, Springvale, during a time when the world is experiencing a critical shortage of ministry leaders.
Their prayers were answered in January when the Recruitment team received an application from someone well known and loved by the congregation … their former Pastor Peter Demuth!
Peter Demuth, who had served a parish overseas since concluding his prior call at St John’s, was overwhelmingly elected by St. John’s members as their new Pastor at a Special General Meeting (SGM) convened in February this year.
A special worship service of induction of Peter Demuth into his role as Pastor of St. John’s was held on Sunday 13th October. Bishop Lester and DCC chair Tony Vong represented the Vic/Tas District at the service.
