Our Team

Ordained in 1999, I came to Walla Walla in 2025 after serving at St. Philip Lutheran Church in Glenview, Illinois; Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Tucson; Open Space Church in Tucson; and Lord of Grace Lutheran Church in Marana Arizona for 15 years. I’m a graduate of Hibbing High School in Minnesota, Gustavus Adolphus College, and the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg.

You might find me on my day off biking, reading a good book, or tending to my yard. I also have an old Canon Rebel and you can check out on flickr. I hope you’ll stop by Christ Lutheran some time and check us out. If you want to chat, or have any questions, feel free to email me or give me a call. Pastor Lars Hammar
