Rev. John L. Bush

Rev. John Bush

CFNA Development Associate

CFNA is pleased to announce that Rev. Bush will be joining the CFNA Leadership Team in January as Development Associate. In this capacity, Rev. Bush will provide CFNA with the leadership required for a significantly expanded development program.

Rev. Bush has been involved in direct marketing and development for almost his entire career: initially with Douglas Dunhill Inc., a direct marketing firm, and thereafter with United Airlines, among others.

In 1995, John joined the LCMS Foundation as Director of Marketing and Communication. While serving in this capacity, he also enrolled in Concordia Seminary and was certified for ordination five years later. He received a call to serve as Associate Pastor, then as Senior Pastor, of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Trenton, MI.

After twelve years in parish ministry, John returned to development and marketing when he received and accepted a call from Concordia University Ann Arbor to serve as Director of Donor Relations. Later, he received and accepted a call to serve as Executive Director of Seminary Support at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. John will retire from this position at the end of this year before beginning part-time service with CFNA.

Over the years, John learned many lessons, including the value of hard work and, most important, that God is always in control and that it is our role to constantly and consistently seek His will.

Please join us in welcoming Rev. Bush to CFNA!
