Pastor & Leadership

Rev. Santiago Keinbaum

Pastor

At Celebration Lutheran Church, we are led by Pastor Keinbaum, who is dedicated to proclaiming Christ and equipping God’s people for His mission. He moved from Barcelona, Spain, to the U.S. for theological training at Concordia University Nebraska and Concordia Theological Seminary. Pastor Keinbaum has served congregations in Lincoln, NE, Garden City, KS, Lakin, KS, and Ulysses, KS, always pointing others to the saving grace of Jesus. Through preaching, teaching, pastoral care, and heart for missional work, he encourages our church family to grow in faith and live out God’s love in service to the world.

Tom Anderson

Head Elder

As the head elder of our Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod congregation, it is both a privilege and a responsibility to help shepherd the spiritual well-being of our members. I lead our Board of Elders with prayerful discernment, working closely with our pastor to uphold sound doctrine through the confessions of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.  It is a blessing to serve where the Gospel is preached and the gifts of God in the Word and Sacrament are received in Divine service.  My call as a leader is to guide our members in the unity of Christ, our Savior, always striving to be a listening ear and a source of encouragement.
