Rev. Scott Malme - Senior Pastor
Greetings! Thanks for visiting Pilgrim Lutheran Church and School on-line. My name is Scott Malme, and I serve as the Senior Pastor here at Pilgrim.

I formerly served St. Paul Lutheran Church in Rockford, IL, and have been serving Pilgrim since September, 2001.

Rev. Hal Toenjes - Associate Pastor
Welcome to Pilgrim's place on the web! Are you looking for a church home in the Green Bay area? Looking for help? Just looking? Then as Pilgrim's Associate Pastor I would encourage you to visit us--either in person or through this website. I look forward to hearing from you or meeting you in person! Like Pastor Malme, I received my education from Concordia College, St. Paul, and from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. I previously served as a pastor at Trinity Lutheran in Genoa, Illinois. But most recently I served cross-culturally as a missionary with my family among the Dhimba people in the country of Namibia (southern Africa) with Lutheran Bible Translators.
