Jesus Es el Senor moved from Cross Lutheran Church on 20th and Vinton to acquire more space for their growing congregation. The building is being renovated to serve the Sudanese congregation, English Second Language classes, as well as the Hispanic services.
Pastor Obdulio is currently attending theological classes at the Center for Hispanic Studies at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, and is expecting to graduate and be ordained in the summer of 2010.

The church recently held its first Annual meeting, elected officers, and adopted goals and a budget for the coming year. The pastor’s focus will be on increasing membership, improving the Sunday School curriculum and enlarging the youth program.
