Board Member: Derek Blessing
I grew up in a small town in western Nebraska and was confirmed in a rural LCMS congregation. I attended and graduated from Concordia University Nebraska where I double majored in Secondary Education and Biology. In January of 2015 I moved to Las Vegas to begin my teaching career at Faith Lutheran Middle and High School. My wife, Becca, and I married in July of 2015, and she joined me in Las Vegas. She is currently a 4th grade teacher at Lamb of God Lutheran School. In 2018 I received my M. ED. in Educational Leadership, and this past summer I accepted the call to Lamb of God Lutheran School as the school administrator. I love sharing the good news of love and salvation through Jesus with others. God calls us to humbly serve others as He served and continues to serve us.
