Luther Classical College’s (LCC) presidential search committee interviewed six men from a list of those nominated by the college’s Board and faculty after receiving numerous names from stakeholders. After prayerfully considering the first round of interviews, the committee has elected to invite Rev. Brent Kuhlman and Rev. Jeffrey Hemmer to Casper for formal on-campus interviews. “We found ourselves blessed to speak with a talented, pious group of men who care deeply about the future of Lutheran higher education,” said Dr. Caleb Karges, chair of the presidential search committee and dean of students, “We are thankful for all of the excellent men who willingly let their names stand for the position.” 
 
Rev. Kuhlman is pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Murdock, Nebraska. He is a seasoned Lutheran pastor and theological educator with over thirty years of leadership in pastoral ministry, preaching, teaching, and international missions. 
 
Rev. Hemmer is pastor of Bethany Evangelical Lutheran Church in Fairview Heights, Illinois. He has served as assistant to the president of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, is the author of Man Up: The Quest for Masculinity, and is a doctor of philosophy candidate at Concordia Seminary—St. Louis, Missouri. 
 
The college requests your continued prayers for all men involved in the search as it selects its next president.
