Filed Under: LPS

On Jan. 3, the governing board of Luther Preparatory School (LPS) in Watertown, Wis., called Rev. Duane Rodewald to be the school's next president.

Rodewald, currently pastor at Abiding Peace, Simpsonville, S.C., has previously served at Michigan Lutheran Seminary, Saginaw, Mich., and St. Paul, Tomah, Wis.

This is the third call issued to fill the vacancy left by Rev. Mark Schroeder, who was elected WELS president at the 2007 convention. Rev. Kenneth Brokmeier, chairman of the LPS governing board, and Rev. Paul Zell, professor at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, Mequon, declined the previous calls.
