Rev. BUD LOCKE
TRANSITIONAL PASTOR
I'm Bud and I am pleased to join the staff as the Transitional Pastor in October 2020. In my 30+ years of ministry, I have been a Youth for Christ Director, a Church Planter, a Project Missionary in Colombia, a revitalization Pastor, a non-profit director and a Transitional Pastor. I am a graduate of Westmont College and Western Seminary with various post-graduate studies. I am excited about transitional work because I get to witness tremendous work of God in a short period of time. People gain hope and commit to greater faithfulness and God responds with amazing fruitfulness.
Kara is my wife of over 30 years (we were high school sweethearts). Our children, Kendra and Nick (and Missy), live in Seattle. When I am not working in ministry you can find me in their company or blowing bubbles (I am a certified SCUBA instructor).
I am excited to walk together with the Hilmar Covenant staff, Council and congregation as we discern the Holy Spirit's call together.
