Meet Pastor Levi

Pastor Levi Powers was born in La Crosse, WI, and subsequently grew up in rural western Wisconsin in what is now called "the Driftless Area." He has a BS from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and an MDiv from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. He previously served as pastor to Mount of Olives Lutheran Church in Rock Springs, WY, and as intern pastor to United Lutheran Church in Lincoln, NE.
Pastor Levi began his call to St. James in March of 2024. He is called to preach and teach the Word of God, administer the sacraments, conduct public worship, provide pastoral care, offer instruction and confirmation, officiate at weddings, visit the sick and distressed, and bury the dead. He also is called to speak publicly in solidarity with the poor and oppressed.
Pastor Levi is married to the Rev. Kat Steinly, who serves Zion Lutheran Church in Oldwick, NJ. At home they have a pet cockatiel named Elgort. In his spare time he enjoys cooking, reading, walking, playing trombone, traveling, and watching Japanese animation and classic movies with his spouse.
