Lake Mary Group Charters
As Holy Cross Lutheran
The Lake Mary Lutheran
Mission was officially chartered
as a church on Sept. 9 as 48
adults and 25 children joined in
organizing the Holy Cross Lutheran Church of Lake Mary. -
The mission was begun in
December by the church pastor,
the Rev. Paul Hoyer under the
sponsorship of the Lutheran
Church Missouri Synod. A graduate of Concordia Seminary, St.
Louis,   Hoyer   was   formerly
pastor of a church in Linkville,
Mich, for three years.
The new church meets in an
office space in the Driftwood
Village Shopping Center ori Lake
Mary Boulevard, not more than a
mile from its four-acre site adjacent to 1-4 on which the group
hopes to build next spring.
Hoyer credits the quick growth
of the congregation from 0 to 80
in eight months is due in part to
the fact that the group is trying
to meet needs and concerns of
the community. They have a
preschool story hour, a summer
youth program, and an upcoming film series by Dr. James
Dobson focusing on the needs of
the family.
He Is the fifth generation in his
family to be Lutheran pastors,
and is originally from Nebraska.
He and his wife, Betty, have
three children, Sara, Benjamin
and Meredith!
The Rev. Paul Hoyer
