Pastor Lucas McSurley

Pastor Lucas McSurley has been professionally relating God’s story to people since 2018. He has lived into his call to serve the church since early childhood. He has served alongside a wide variety of people within many settings that range from small-town rural to developing inner cities. His passion is to bring people together, deepen spirituality, and broaden our understanding of community.

Pastor Lucas received an undergraduate degree in Religious Studies from Wittenberg University (Springfield, OH). He continued his studies at Trinity Lutheran Seminary at Capital University (Columbus, OH). His pastoral education included ministry with Lord of Life Lutheran Church (West Chester, OH) and Chaplaincy at Kettering Medical Center (Dayton, OH). Lucas came to the Lamb of God Lutheran/Episcopal Church after serving with the good folks of Messiah Lutheran Church (Akron, OH).

Lucas and his wife, Alex, love caring for their dogs. You’ll usually find them exploring parks, kayaking, or grabbing a drink and bite to eat at any local hidden gem.
