Lead Pastors

Stephanie Pitkin

Steph is the lead pastor at LS Church and does the majority of our preaching. She also helps to bring vision to the entire campus and all of its ministries. She has a long history with our church and has served in many roles. She’s worked here since 1981. Well, kind of. Her parents, Pastors Al and Judy Jandl, founded the church in 1974. She has been a part of the vision since the beginning. She has an impressive eye for design and manages to stay organized while being a mom to five children.

James Pitkin

James is the lead pastor and creative director at LS Church. He came to the campus part-time in 2005 to help produce the church television program. His background in commercial media and design as well as commercial architecture led to his integration on multiple fronts on the campus. He preaches and helps to establish vision campus-wide. He is also involved creatively in all of our ministries. When he’s not creating things, he enjoys hanging out with his kids, playing video games and watching lots of YouTube.
