St. Michael’s Lutheran Church in New Canaan unanimously voted to call The Reverend Dr. Derrick Fallon as their new pastor on Sunday, July 17.
Although Pastor Fallon has served St. John’s Lutheran Church in Randolph, Neb. for the past 10 years, originally he was a member of the New England Synod. He is married to Pam, and the couple has two adult children, Colin and Ian.
Pastor Derrick graduated from the Lutheran Theology Seminary at Gettysburg with a Master of Divinity degree in 2005, was ordained into the ministry of Word and Sacrament and called to serve St. John’s in 2006. While serving the congregation in Randolph, he attended Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN and graduated in 2011 with a Doctor of Ministry degree in Biblical Preaching. In addition to his responsibilities at St. John’s, he accepted a call to serve as Ministry Coordinator for Nebraska Lutheran Campus Ministry at Wayne State College.
Among Derrick’s passions and interests are reading, writing and running. He loves the work of studying and interpreting the Bible and then writing and delivering sermons that will connect the promises given in biblical texts to the lives of his listeners.
He has taught all age groups, enjoys visiting and listening to other’s stories, and is just happy to be returning home to New England. He is a staff writer for Augsburg Fortress and writes for the devotional publications Christ in Our Home and The Word in Season. His writing has also been published in Word and World: Theology for Christian Ministry, as well as The Lutheran Digest.
Please join Pastor Fallon and the entire St. Michael’s Lutheran Church Congregation at 5 Oenoke Ridge, New Canaan, beginning on Sunday, Aug. 28. Worship starts at 9 a.m. (On Sept. 11 worship returns to the 10 a.m. schedule followed by fellowship.) stmichaelslutheran.org/
