Rev. Dale E. Johnson
was called as Assistant Pastor 1978 and served with Pastor Hasskarl
until his retirement in 1981. During this time, Pastor Johnson
focused on Christian education.
With the retirement of
Pastor Hasskarl, the council and congregation decided to implement a
team ministry with Pastor Johnson and a new pastor to be called.
The Rev. Stephen F. Yelovich was called in 1982 to be the second
pastor and for a year the struggle to make this concept work was
carried on. Pastor Johnson moved to St. Andrew Evangelical Lutheran
Church, Muncy, in 1983, where he served for a number of years.
