OUR PASTORS

SENIOR PASTOR

Craig Michaelson

I have had the joy and privilege of serving as Lead Pastor of our amazing staff and ministry at Faith Community Lutheran Church and Schools since 2007. Since that time, God has blessed us with the opportunity for our Church and Schools to expand from one campus to three campuses. The Lord has also given us wonderful mission and ministry partners in this community and beyond to serve with and support.

 
Prior to serving here, I served in ministries in southern Arizona and southern California.
 
You may have seen my wife Amy signing during the 9:30 am service. In addition to her involvement in Deaf Ministry as a volunteer, Amy works as an Accountant.
 
Amy and I grew up in Iowa and lived in different Midwest states before ministry.
 
Our son John is an Auto Technician at Lexus of Las Vegas. He is a blessing to us, and to our cars!

YOUTH & YOUNG ADULTS

Pastor Sam Reinhard

My name is Pastor Sam Reinhard and I serve as the Pastor of Youth and Young Adults here. My wife, Athena, and I have been married since 2017, and we welcomed our son, Arthur, into this world in March 2023.


I grew up in Texas but ministry has brought me to serve all over in Wisconsin, Illinois, Colorado and Nevada. I enjoy hiking, reading, and weightlifting in my free time.

DISCIPLESHIP

Pastor Brandon Larson

I’m Pastor Brandon Larson, and I serve at Faith Community as Pastor of Discipleship. My wife Amy and I are blessed to have 2 little ones, Elinore and Mark. I’ve served in ministry  about 19 years, with 13 of them in pastoral ministry. I’ve served congregations in Bullhead City, Arizona, southern Illinois, and St. Louis, Missouri. I am passionate about learning and teaching the Bible and equipping Christians for their lifelong journey of faith. I enjoy spending time with my family, playing guitar, drinking coffee, and the outdoors.
