St. Paul Lutheran Church

Staff & Leadership

Church leaders serve as a role models, providing vision, support, and direction to foster a strong, united community.

Pastor

Rev. Melanie Haack

Pastor Melanie has served congregations in the Northwestern Ohio Synod since her ordination in 1992. For the last fifteen years, she’s been in the greater Bowling Green area and for almost five years now, she has been serving here at St. Paul and in a shared ministry with St. James Lutheran
Church in Bradner.

She’s interested in creating a church-family atmosphere in smaller churches where people can share their lives—their worship-time, prayers and fellowship as we aspire to genuinely love our neighbors and expand the mission of Christ.

She’s currently serving on synod council and as a mentor to four new clergy in the First Call
Mentoring program.
