Pastor John Kuehner

Pastor John holds a Masters of Divinity degree from Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley and ordained with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

With a bachelor’s degree in Business Economics from UC Santa Barbara, John spent 16 years working in research and product development for an investment management firm until he felt the call to pursue ministry full-time.

The people of Our Redeemer’s Lutheran Church called Pastor John in June 2013. Eager to make a difference in the wider community, this relationship is ready to explore how God’s grace via a Lutheran expression might speak to the Bay Area context, particularly within the northern San Francisco peninsula. In October 2014, Calvary Lutheran Church called Pastor John to a two year term call to explore the full potential of joint ministry with Our Redeemer’s Lutheran Church.  In October 2015, Pastor John became Pastor of Unity Lutheran Church a collaboration between the Lutheran churches of San Bruno, Millbrae and South San Francisco.
