Pastor Stephen P. Beyer

Email: pastorbeyer@LOLaz.org

If you ask Pastor Steve Beyer (sounds like "buyer") where he's from,
the short answer is Wisconsin. He's a Cheesehead who spent his formative years in a small town about an hour from Green Bay. But he was born at Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Florida and has lived all over the world as a Navy brat and then again as a Navy chaplain.

Pastor Beyer graduated from Concordia College (Milwaukee), Washington University (St. Louis) and Union Theological Seminary (New York). Following ordination he served as pastor for St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Brooklyn, New York. That's where he met and married the love of his life, Toni. She is a registered nurse and recently went back to school to complete an RN to BSN degree at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

After six years as parish pastor and Navy Reservist, Pastor Beyer was "recalled" to active duty. He and Toni thought they would try it for a few years. Twenty-five years and ten duty stations later he retired from the Navy. For the last year he worked as a chaplain at Norfolk General Hospital as a Clinical Pastoral Education resident in order to sharpen his pastoral care skills. He focused on geriatric behavior health, emergency medicine, end-of-life issues and palliative care.
