Pastor Gerald Mansholt

After 12 wonderful years filled with memories, Pastor Jerry and Anita Mansholt moved to Chesterfield, Missouri in February of this year. They moved to be closer to family though some suspect it is also to get Jerry closer to Busch Stadium and Cardinal baseball. Jerry has served as a parish pastor in Oklahoma, St. Louis, and Wichita, Kansas. Later he served as bishop, both in the ELCA Central States Synod (Missouri/Kansas) and the ELCA East Central Synod of Wisconsin. Since leaving the office of bishop Jerry has served as interim pastor in Mandeville, Louisiana; Green Bay and Sheboygan. He continues to serve on the Board of Directors for Wartburg Seminary and the We Raise Foundation.
