Pastor Paul Frank Pastor E-Mail: pfrank@hosanna-lcms.com I was born in Corydon, Iowa and raised in Norwalk, a small town just south of Des Moines. I graduated from Grand View College in Des Moines with a B.A. in communications, specializing in radio and television production. I worked in the film and video production industry for many years working on feature films, TV movies, and other projects around the country. I was blessed by God to marry Kathy in 1989. He's blessed us with three wonderful children: Sonjah, Serenah, and Montana (whom we call Tanner). Having been active in our church for many years, the Lord led me to enter the seminary in 2000 changing careers and changing the course of our lives forever. It's an amazing adventure He leads us on as we walk by faith and serve Him in His kingdom. He blessed us in my vicarage year in Rochester, MN. He blessed us again through our time in service to the people of Trinity in Manilla, Iowa. And now God continues His pattern of blessings as I am installed as the pastor here at Hosanna Lutheran Church and School in Mesa. Dear friends in Christ, with great joy let us work as partners in the gospel, serving our Lord in the mission of making disciples. We will bring the good news of Jesus to our family and friends, to the children He entrusts to our care, to this community, and to the very ends of the earth. God's peace and joy be with you always. Amen.
