Meet The Pastor
Deacon JOSEPH R GODLESKI
I WAS BORN IN HOLY NAME HOSPITAL IN TEANECK NJ
ON MAY 9 1966. TO ROMAN CATHOLIC PARENTS
AT AGE 15 AFTER READING THE BIBLE FOR MYSELF I
DECIDED THAT THEIR WERE MANY DOCTRINAL ERRORS
AND MAN MADE TRADITIONS IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH. I DECIDED TO QUIT THE CHURCH
AND WENT GOING A SEVEN YEAR SPIRITUAL SEARCH.
GOING TO AND TRYING DIFFERENT CHRISTIAN CHURCHES
TO FIND WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE THE TRUTH. I FOUND THE LUTHERAN
CHURCH AT AGE 22 AND I WAS CONFIRMED INTO
THE CHURCH NOT LONG AFTER GOING THROUGH CATECHISM
LESSONS WHEN I TURNED 35 YEARS OLD I DECIDED TO STUDY
TO BECOME A CHAPLAIN THROUGH THE ONLINE COURSE GIVEN
THROUGH THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF CHRISTIAN MINISTERS LOCATED IN
GREENSVILLE SC IN 2001 AFTER COMPLETING AND BEING ORDAINED WHICH I THEN ESTABLISHED THE AUGSBURG CONFESSIONAL
LUTHERAN CHAPEL IN AMERICA
