Pr. Bunny Dillard

Pastor

Pastor Bunny Dillard was called to Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in August 2024, after graduating from Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa. After serving Tree of Life Lutheran Church in Conroe, Texas, in many roles, culminating as the director of youth and family, Pastor Bunny answered the call of the Holy Spirit to begin the candidacy process in the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod of the ELCA. She served as a vicar during her internship at Grace Lutheran in Des Moines. She is very excited to continue this journey in ministry, serving as the pastor to the people and neighbors of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church!

Pastor Bunny is enthusiastic about purchasing craft supplies but not the best at actually finishing projects. During seminary she completed 14 quilts for friends and over 70 stoles for her graduating class. She has about 20 quilts in various stages to complete.

Her children were born in Louisiana and the family moved to Texas after Hurricane Rita devastated the Lake Charles area. Her 2 daughters are now grown, with the oldest working her way up the ladder at a dementia care center, and her youngest is a student at Michigan State University. They live together in East Lansing, Michigan.

Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers. – Romans 12:13

Forrest Green

Music Director

After graduating high school in New Mexico, Forrest decided to return to Iowa where his mother’s family is from, and earn his Bachelor’s Degree in Music at Coe College.  Later, after many years working office jobs, he decided to pursue more music-specific occupations as they became available.  In 2014, after applying to become the church organist/pianist, he also started accompanying the OSLC choir, and has since played for various church-related functions including the Bell Choir.  Today, he is honored and privileged to serve as the Music Director at Our Savior’s, maintaining all of his original functions, but now also leading and selecting music for the choir. 

Terri Hodge

Bell Choir Director

Terri attended Coe College in the early 80’s studying music ( flute ), art, and biology. When her church decided to start a bell choir in 1989, she thought it might be a fun thing to try. In 2003 she took over as director. When the job opening came up at OSLC in 2007, she thought it would be a great way to bring bell music to other places.
In addition to directing the bells at OSLC, she plays in the bell choir at St. Mark’s Lutheran church in Robins. She also subs in the choir at Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Marion and, on occasion, plays for the First United Methodist in Marion.

Terri, and her husband Denny, have four children and continue to play lots of music. They play in the orchestras for musicals, and each maintain a private lesson studio – Terri on flute, Denny on trumpet.

When not doing music, Terri loves collecting vintage Christmas decorations, doing cross stitch, watching vintage Sci-Fi and hunting for rocks.
