Pastor  The Rev. Stewart N. Reimnitz was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, on February 16, 1939. Pastor Reimnitz graduated from Concordia Senior College, Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1960 with a BA degree, and from Concordia Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri in 1964 with a Bachelor of Divinity degree.

Prior to graduating from Concordia Theological Seminary, he served as vicar at St. James Lutheran Church, Lafayette, Indiana, where he met his wife, Patricia Good.
He was ordained on Pentecost III in 1964 at St. John's Lutheran Church, McCook, Nebraska, and he and Pat were married June 14 that same year. Their marriage has been blessed by two daughters, Rebecca Ann of St. Louis and Julie Lynne of San Diego. The family served parishes at Christ the King Lutheran Church, Muscle Shoals, Alabama, from 1964-1966, Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Crawsfordsville, Indiana, 1966-1973. Rev. Reimnitz was installed as Pastor here at Christ the Cornerstone Lutheran Church, San Diego on Pentecost III in 1973. Pastor and Pat have worked together to guide this parish from a small group of families meeting in homes to the present extensive facilities of church and school. Pastor has a very special relationship with children. His children’s service each Sunday and the Midweek Chapel Services are well liked by children and adults alike. You often see him with children lovingly gathered around him. Pastor has developed a fancy for Powerpoint slides. He incorporates wonderful slides that add exciting creativity to each of his sermons and worship times. Pastor’s sermons always speak of the Gospel and God’s love and grace that He gives to all. |
