God is leading Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church and Academy on an exciting journey of faith and renewal. Please join us on this path.

A Call Committee led by Rhonda Karrer and Jodi Layton interviewed and reviewed several applications for our pastoral opening. The committee strongly recommended Pastor Annemarie Burke.

After meeting with the committee and reviewing Pastor Burke's credentials, the Congregation Council unanimously voted to approve the recommendation and to put her candidacy before the congregation. Council members and staff who have spoken individually with Pastor Burke the past two weeks are impressed and see her as a good fit. We're eager for everyone to get to know her.

TWO IMPORTANT DATES

Sunday, May 31 - Meet and Greet Pastor Burke in Werner Hall after worship. Sandwiches, fruit, salads, other goodies will be served.

Sunday, June 7 - Special congregation meeting after worship to vote to call Pastor Burke.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT PASTOR BURKE

Pastor Annemarie, as she prefers to be called, was born and raised in Tucson and calls the Sonoran Desert home. She graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Arts in Cultural and Linguistic Anthropology. Later, she followed a call to offer her love of language and diverse cultures in service of God’s mission to love and bless the world by joining Wycliffe Bible Translators. There she served as a Sociolinguistic Survey Specialist in Tanzania, traveling with a team in remote regions of the country.

After returning, she attended Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota, and served her internship year in Northern Minnesota on the Iron Range. She went on to serve ELCA congregations in the Mountain West before returning to Arizona. Most recently, she has served in hospice chaplaincy supporting patients and their families. In January of 2026 she celebrated her 20-year ordination anniversary.

In her free time for rest and renewal, she enjoys reading, hiking, desert gardening, discovering a new favorite restaurant with friends, playing the piano, staring at sunsets, and a good binge-watch on Netflix. She enjoys being outdoors more than indoors, is a dog-person who has cats, and will wax poetic about Star Trek if not closely monitored.

These are 2 of our wonderful teachers at our school! Our teachers are what make our Academy great! We are so blessed! ❤️❤️
